How to DoS your friends in the real world

4 Dec 2003

I just lost my company mobile phone. It is really annoying and I was worried about my phone being abused especially since it is unbarred for international dialing.

After failing to reach the person who deals with the phones in the company I thought I will try and call Vodafone myself to get the phone barred. The phone is not in my name so I had little hope of pulling it off.

The guy on the other end was very helpfull, asked a few routine questions and barred the phone! I was shocked but gratefull
