All of the information the "hacker" found using the reporter's cell number could have been found using just the reporter's name and rough location.

It seems strange to me that peoples names, addresses, and phone numbers used to be freely distributed in a large book to every house in town yet now any one of those details can be used to assume someone's "identity." It seems the only thing stopping this from happening en-masse is that nobody has tried.
