Texas AG Investigates Sale of Cell Phone Records

Via The Austin Business Journal.

Spurred by widespread reports of cell phone privacy abuse, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is investigating allegations that several Web sites are illegally selling Texas consumers' private cell phone records.

He also contacted cell phone providers about actions they are taking to better safeguard customer information.

"This is a serious breach of personal privacy," Abbott says. "The business of using trickery to obtain consumers' cell phone records amounts to nothing more than the illegal trafficking of private information."
