华盛顿州西雅图市的一位程序师将发生在几家新兴无线网络服务公司内部的一起严重的隐私侵犯事例公诸于众。这次侵犯事件的起因是,访问各个网站的人的电话号码可以被查到。据说,来自于Sprint PCS以及AT&TWireless的服务允许订户通过一个移动电话小屏幕浏览网络的初级版本,采用电话号码作为确认冲浪者身份以及使网络站点个性化的一种方法。这样的做法和自动将一个网络冲浪者的电子邮件地址送到他所访问过的每一个Internet站点其实是一样的,正是这一前景令一些订户担忧。“让一台设备公布出你的电话号码确实是很糟糕,”一位曾经发现先前的许多在线安全漏洞的程序师认为:“我不明白为什么他们要选用用户独一无二的电话号码来做ID。”针对这个问题,Sprint公司已正在迅速改变现行政策,它很快就要在未来的30天之内推出产品的一套新的版本,不
