BT EasyReach Pagers ! !!================================================!! by Hybrid, SinTax and Extreem May 1998 I recently registered my BT-Easyreach pager with BT. When you register a BT pager you have to tell them a name and address etc, and they will activate the 'service'for you. Obviously, you don't register with your real name and address etc, they will send you loads of crap junk mail. Also in this day and age we need to avoid the databases of big-brother. After you have given the kind operator all of the information, they will issue you with a 4 didgit security code, which is used to remotely login to your pager. If I can remember correctly, the operators exact words were, ' Your pager is now set up and ready to use, here is your security code which is unique to your pager, do not lose it, or give it to anyone.' What the kind operator did not tell me was that my unique passcode was'nt just unique to me, but "unique" to all the other million BT-Easyreach pagers... What is BT upto? They could of at least told me that my "unique" passcode was known by a million other people, but no, BT have to tell me a straight forward lie... I have recently phoned British-Telescum and asked them why my passcode is the same as all other BT-Easyreach users. There reply was, " Mr Goldsteam, I insist that your pager is fully secure, we only have our customers privacy in mind... that's why your pager was issued with a "unique" passcode, which an operator would have told you when you set up your pager... " -BOLLOCKS! They then went on to describe how to change my passcode. After this SinTax and extreem executed a little experiment, just to see if the passcode we have works on other, unsespecting BT-Easyreach customers. The result of the experiment- Within a few hours, SinTax and Extreem managed to login to over 100 pagers, change all of there personal greetings, passcodes, listen to and re-transmit all of there messages. If you are one of the unlucky sods, that had there outgoing greeting changed to the theme tune of neigbours, or the 12 days of xmas, you can change this round by entering your new passcode, cleaverly devised by SinTax...31337. The default passcode for ALL BT-Pagers is 0893. To login to a BT-Pager, ring the number... 01426-xxxxxx, when the voice promt comes on to leave a message, hit **0893 and your in!, you now 0wn some poor bastards pager! This can be especialy usefull for revenge or spying purposes. You can listen to all of the messages left for that person, re-transmit them to his/her pager, change there out going greeting, and/or change their passcode. Even if the person has changed there passcode you can still retrieve it! -Just ring up BT-Easyreach and say you have just brought your freinds pager, and would like to change the personal registration details... After doing all of that, the operator will verify all of the given details with you and reset the passcode for you. Thats all folks, keep an eye on the DarkCYDE website for another file on VodaFone exploits. -Extreem extreemuk@hotmail.com -SinTax sintax@freaknet.demon.co.uk
