Verizon Wireless Sues Company Over Consumer Privacy
Verizon Wireless filed a lawsuit in Florida against a private investigative agency that allegedly was trying to obtain confidential information about its subscribers. The suit, filed in Hillsborough County, Fla., names Global Information Group (GIG) as a defendant and claims it made "thousands of attempts" to secure confidential information about its customers without first obtaining authorization to do so. The carrier asserts the company tried to impersonate Verizon Wireless employees as well as customers.
