i agree completly with your case, he is not permitted to access the account without a pin which you did not give and sides you did not call sprint for anything but you were on craigslist looking for something and that is obviously not contacting sprint like many others seem to either not realize or failed to read that part and you should be compensated fully as the employee did fraud and it is good that he lost his job and got fired and what should be added to him is a warning for other companies that this employee did this and are ill advised to employ him for work(so if he wants to be employable then he should not do that stuff to begin with or he would be flat out denied) in the part that he did and be labeled, i understand about the call center thing that someone said earlier but he did not contact a call center.

That is the longest sentence Ive ever attempted to read... learn the basics of punctuation, it makes it so much easier to read...

I was about to reply that going to the media might have an impact on the court case (if it's needed) so I'm glad you declined.

I hope you also realise that this is one bad egg between a bunch of people just doing their job properly. Sounds like Sprint have made all the right moves for you atm. And good luck!

yeah, your so emotionally upset but getting things for free would solve that quickly apparently :p. Whatever, what he did was obviously wrong, we all realize that. He abused his position. But if you are that upset about someone viewing than you should get some perspective about what real problems are imho :)

I know this was some time ago but I'm wondering if anything was done on your behalf. Recently my account was accessed and my password was bypassed by a manager and she actually removed a phone from my account and when I noticed she quickly returned it in hopes I wouldn't keep on it to see what happened. I called and filed a complaint and so far nothing has happened to her over this.

i should be compensated in some form.

LOL omg.. HAHAHA. Entitlement much? you should be compensated because someone looked at your account? ok lets do a fact check:

1.) Has your identity been stolen?

2.) have any credit cards/mortgages been opened in your name?

3.) has this person affected your credit score?

4.) Did they actually steal anything from you?

No no no and no. Therefore why should you be compensated at all? yes they did something wrong, but that's not sprints fault. This person will be delt with, and you may or may not get a month of service or something, but you need to stop thinking you've been wronged.

I am confused about this "needing a pin" to view your account. Anyone with a computer access at Sprint can view your account; they do not need permission or pin code from you. All they need is a name or phone number. That is how the seller on Craigslist could get your information.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
