Wow. someone hacked Homeland Security, and, wait for it... called the middle east

They racked up $12,000 is Sprint charges (or maybe that was just thier monthly bill). The calls were made from FEMA phones and Sprint halted all outgoing calls and notified thier customer that somebody was make a whole bunch of 3 minute calls to Saudi Arabia, Yemen and India (I like how th enews calls India either middle eastern or asian depending on when it's convenient).

The awesome thing about this is the guy who investigated it said that the hack was 'old school' and pretty easy to do. Um, this is homeland security... yeah.
