I just got a new cellphone number, along with a new phone. I haven't told anyone but my siblings and my son what it is. On Tuesday, I called my sister's cell phone number. She lives in Oregon now, but has retained her "760" area code and phone number, which she got while living in San Diego, California. We talked about family matters for a few minutes. Yesterday, I received a sales call with forged caller ID - showing the "760" area code. I think that my dialing record is being sold: I don't know by whom, but I don't believe in coincidences like this one. Can anyone provide an explanation? TIA.

Gordon, Aneesh Chopra, and Adam Landman Of the numerous disruptions to health care delivery forced upon us by COVID-19, the push toward virtual care and remote work may be the longest lasting. But this new era is not without challenges. Downtime for the virtual meeting company "Zoom" on August 24--which, prior to COVID-19, would be a non-event for health care organizations--led to canceled appointments, delayed visits, and countless frustrations at our institution and others. In this piece, we describe the risks and advantages of moving health care delivery to the internet and a path forward for ensuring safe and effective clinical care delivery. https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20201202.453916/full/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <5ABF9468-2E82-4981-8932-6F62804422CA@roscom.com> Date: 3 Dec 2020 08:29:21 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: iPhone zero-click Wi-Fi exploit is one of the most breathtaking hacks ever iPhone zero-click Wi-Fi exploit is one of the most breathtaking hacks ever By Dan Goodin Before Apple patch, Wi-Fi packets could steal photos. No interaction needed. Over the air. This Wi-Fi packet of death exploit was devised by Ian Beer, a researcher at Project Zero, Google's vulnerability research arm. In a 30,000-word post published on Tuesday afternoon, Beer described the vulnerability and the proof-of-concept exploit he spent six months developing single-handedly. Almost immediately, fellow security researchers took notice. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/iphone-zero-click-wi-fi-exploit-is-one-of-the-most-breathtaking-hacks-ever/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20201204191841.CABB0753@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 19:18:41 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: CO: Loveland's Pulse utility launches internet, phone services for business Internet plans start at 100 megabits per second for $109.95 a month The city of Loveland's communications utility, called Pulse, has launched its fiber-optic high-speed internet and voice services for business.
