"The law is not much help, because no regulations require carriers to reimburse customers for fraud the way credit card companies must."

There's nothing in common re the hack between a phone system vs a credit/debit card so it shouldn't be any surprise their treated differently.

PBX etc... abuse is due to weak credentials which is within the complete control of the user where credit/debit card abuse is often completely out of the users control.
