~ telephone account information is confidential ~

A New Jersey Superior Court has issued an Order restraining Source Resources from selling telephone account information on Verizon Wireless subscribers. Apparently a customer of Verizon complained that there was an unauthorized access to his/her account, which prompted the lawsuit.

Superior Court Judge Harriet Derman ordered a permanent injunction against Source Resources Tuesday as part of a settlement between Verizon Wireless and the company. Source Resources agreed to cooperate with Verizon Wireless by surrendering records of its transactions and information about how it previously obtained customer records.
