It’s not a ‘stab’ at anything and doesn’t come close to an oxymoron. Care can still be taken. Anyway, an idiots guide then;
• Your O2 phone left anywhere with keypad unlocked or with a timed locked not initiated. Or worse, you lend your mobile to someone in distress for an emergency call.
• Some scobe or other distressed vindictive individual picks it up while you’re getting a round in and dials 171, followed by 888 and then * to exit – your voice mail password is given on exit to them.
• Assume I’m the scobe and on exiting it gives me your voice mail password as it does
• I now have complete access to your messages and voicemail commands from an external source including any land line and my own mobile by dialling the 08/whatever, followed by a 5 and your no. and then the password given and hey presto your messages and voicemail are mine.
