Unauthorized calls to Syria and Iraq

I recently heard a news story about two T-Mobile customers who had over $2000 in international long distance for calls to two numbers in Syria and Iraq. The strange part was both customers are totally unrelated to one another, yet had been charged for calls to the same numbers. Both customers challenged the charges and were originally denied a credit, but were eventually credited back. T-Mobile says they are investigating the situation, along with Homeland Security.

Has anyone heard about this going on with other customers or carriers? And is this a new national security threat?

I did not hear of this, but I wonder what kind of handset they have? I know that there are secutiry breaches for the danger phones, and for bluetooth phones.

I dont know the exact models, but one guy had a Motorola, and the other had a Samsung, I think.

They've been credited and we're checking to see if there are any other examples of this--it could be a billing glitch rather than actual calls.
