Hackers send thousands of fake calls to deaf people

That is simultaneously the most hilarious and sadest thing I have ever read. I admire deaf people for being so strong. I totally admire them.

You may think this is the saddest thing... look at a lot of other people being victimized by identity theft, computer virus, etc... it's the same thing. The Deaf people are just tired of being taken advantage of and what's neat about these people is that they are resilient to these experiences.

Has someone invented a hacking tracking device?

Either the contacts, the missing calls, or the recieve calls inside the video phone machine to storage of Sorenson Company, which the same thing to hearing people have "caller ID" that these lists or telephone numbers, names and IP addresses are missing or disappearing. What happened to them? I believe the hackers took lists off from these contacts, missing calls and recieve calls. Hackers, please leave them alone.

I hope there is a law and that they throw the book at 'em. This is just cruel and not funny in the least. Perhaps it is a hate crime.

This is worse than just some virus. This is discrimination and crude.

How about the nation hack their bank account, would they like that? Taking communication away from someone who depends greatly on one form of it is horrid.

They read to comminucate and they were silenced. It takes more than a small prank to come up with this. It takes recklessness or hatred. Both of which need stop and be caught.

To Anonymous, Yes they have invented one. The very next day it was hacked, or hackers went around it and got in some other way. We all wish it was that simple.

Sorenson needs to reprogram their VP system to include a call blocking technology service so that some calls can be blocked on our VPs.

For those hackers, if I ever meet up with one, I will have a digicam trained on my vp and I will click on them to insure they'll get caught. Stupid asses.

It is so sad and very amazing that there are people in this world that don't have anything better to do with their time except to destroy technology that is helping make this world a better place. It is especially upsetting to me that someone deaf or hearing would do this as a joke. I agree with Jan, it is STUPID AND JUST PLAIN MEAN.

Once someone is hacker. S/he won't stop. My yahoo screenname was hacked by a male. Hacker are everywhere inculded email, pop-up. Ads. unknown chat to IM. IF u sign up the newsletter. someone can see it. I usually put my nickname. if they sent me Nickname. i know they r scam or not. If they spell my real name, they r my friend or Company that i am using. only way is just hang up or delete. do not open them unless u know them.

Did Sorenson ever fix this hole in their system or do they just say the usual 'it is a problem with your firewall'?
