Basically, Sprint's current account system lets anyone who knows basic information (number, location, age) about you hijack your Sprint account with a little social engineering.

From there, the hijacker can change your billing address and order several phones to put on eBay (leaving you with the bill), or even put GPS on your account to track your movements.
Grip me with your eyes.
