What is it?

People dial a lot of people phone numbers at once to see if the line is busy and if it is then they hack on to the computer.

Why do people do this?

People do it to hack.

Benefits:

They get military telephone numbers, cooperate computers and telephone numbers.

What are the negative things caused by this? They can break into company

computers and networks. Some war dialers use it for harassment

What ethical (controversial) issues arise out of this? If you got a call at 6 am would you

behave differently?

What does the law say about this? Do you this is sufficient?

It’s not illegal to call someone’s number, but if you do it continuously it’s stalking and that is illegal.
