Cell-phone records are for sale online.

"The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that your phone records are for sale online to the general public. From the article 'The Chicago Police Department is warning officers their cell phone records are available to anyone -- for a price. Dozens of online services are selling lists of cell phone calls, raising security concerns among law enforcement and privacy experts.' One of these sites is selling cell phone records for $110 for a month's worth of calls. No court order needed, no credentials required.”  “To test the service, the FBI paid Locatecell.com $160 to buy the records for an agent's cell phone and received the list within three hours, the police bulletin said. “ … “ The Chicago Sun-Times paid $110 to Locatecell.com to purchase a one-month record of calls for this reporter's company cell phone. It was as simple as e-mailing the telephone number to the service along with a credit card number. The request was made Friday after the service was closed for the New Year's holiday. “

 Makes me seriously wonder what is going to happen with all these data being collected at all kinds of VoIP service providers… Different problems but simular. Relating to that (not directly suggesting anything, I really don’t want the Ebay/Paypal population/ecosphere to be tapping in to my telephony-records, I also don’t want to receive any unsollicited phonecall from Ebay auctioneers…).
