  • For $US100, the website provided Cioni, then living in northern Virginia, with the password to her boyfriend's AOL email account. For another $100, she got her boyfriend's wife's password. And then the password of another girlfriend and the boyfriend's children.
  • Federal US law prohibited hacking into email, but without further illegal activity it was only a misdemeanour, said Orin Kerr, a law professor at George Washington University.
  • All the services advertise that they will email a screenshot of the target's inbox or even send an email from the target's account as proof that they've cracked the password. The customer then sends payment. One service then responds with the script of a scene from a Shakespeare play, with the stolen password hidden in the copy.

  • The system has several underlying database tables, including zip codes, cities and station data. The zip code and city tables, in addition to containing information about the locations, also include the latitude and longitude for the centroid each location.
  • At the core, the system works based on latitudes and longitudes.
  • Once we have the latitude and longitude, we perform a series of calculations based on the Great Circle Calcuation (GCC), which helps us to determine distances on a curved surface (ie. the Earth - and we are assuming that it is not flat). Using the GCC, we look for stations near the latitude and longitude, based on a 100 mile radius from that point. From that list of stations, which is too inclusive, we start our process of narrowing down the results to the actual stations that can be heard.

    Vishing, similar to phising scams that rely on email to steal costomer identities. Various users would click on links sent to them by fraud looking websites, bank names, etc. The "vishers" would then redirect them to a automated call service very similar to the original thing, and then they would obtain the information given by the consumer.
