- What is pretexting? Pretexting implies pretending to be someone else in order to access the private records of customers
- Why is pretexting dangerous? Pretexting is the prelude to identity theft that is nowadays practised not only by individuals but also organized crime
- What is the HP-Verizon pretexting controversy? HP hired investigators used pretexting by pretending to be telecom personnel and managed to get hold of the phone records of Verizon customers.The HP investigators used pretexting to attempt to solve the news leaks from the HP boardroom. As attorneys battle out this pretexting drama,the US Government and Congress have hopefully woken to the pretexting menace.
As you can see,pretexting is scary and Governments need to enact laws to punish pretexting and identity thefts and protect the rights of customers
