Around the summer of 2001, I got a phone call from a man named Eddie Muñoz, who knew of my past hacking exploits and wanted to hire me to fix a rather unusual problem. His highly successful service in providing "dancers" available on call in Las Vegas had dropped off very significantly. Eddie felt certain that the Mafia had hacked Sprint’s phone switch and reprogrammed it so that most of the calls to Eddie’s service would be diverted to other call-girl services run by the Mob.
