An anonymous reader writes "It is shockingly easy to gain access to an AT&T customer's voicemail using caller ID spoofing techniques. What's worse is that AT&T knows about it. On your Android phone, download one of the two caller ID spoofing programs. Input the number of your target as the destination number and then enter the same number as the spoofed caller ID. Then connect your call. If the target has not added a voicemail password (the default is no password), you will be dropped into a random menu of their voicemail and eventually can drill up or down to get what you want. You can change greetings, erase messages, send voicemails out of the target account, and much more. How many politicians up in arms about Google Wi-Fi sniffing will want to know more about this?"

I see this post as the same thing as saying one of the following:
You can hack into a car by throwing your android phone really hard at a window.
There is an app on your android phone that makes it so you can steal money from people, just put it in your pocket, hold it to their back and pretend it is a gun while asking for everything they have.
Hack your McDonald hamburger by taking the buns and putting them on your head and calling them your alien receptors.
Hack your microwave, stick your android in it for 10 minutes while running this "insert ad here" app.
Hack the airwaves, play music on your android.
