Excuse my naivete but it seems to me that the call data that was accessed belonged to Deutsche Telekom to begin with so how is it a breach of security if they reviewed data that belongs to them as long as they don't share this data with any other outside entity? As I understand it, the calls were made from Deutsche Telekom internal phones so this data is theirs pure and simple. I assume that they provide call histories at their client's request for them to review so why can't they review the call histories of their internal phones? German law must be a whole lot more restrictive than US laws in this area.
