i worked for a fairly large local rural ISP in queensland only a
little while ago. the ISP participated in the networking the nation
program. several other large and small ISPs were up in arms.

one telco who shall remain nameless badgered our helpdesk for a while
trying to do a bit of social engineering and find out things like
how many customers we had, what our usage was, etc...

start their investigations...
