Rogue diallers have claimed a high-profile victim — Microsoft UK's chief security advisor Ed Gibson.
Speaking to ZDNet UK on Tuesday, Gibson revealed that he has recently been hit by a £450 bill from BT after his computer was infected with a rogue dialler.
Rogue diallers are malicious applications that hijack an Internet connection and redirect it to a premium rate number, often based abroad. They only affect dial-up connections, but some broadband users have been hit because they also have dial-up connections as a back-up. ...
Oh, and before I forget ... "Paging James94whatever, James94whatever to the thread please"

Backup. Broadband's not too consistent in some places here.
Or, of course, he could be using WinFax.

I thought that the whole thing was quite odd.
Microsoft and top security in one sentence just doesn't sound right

Maybe he had his land line plugged in to send and receive faxes? All it takes is phone line to be plugged into your WinBox, a nifty little dialler and you're screwed ...
