===1st Source Information Specialists===
U.S. Rep. [[Fred Upton]] (R-[[Kalamazoo, Michigan|Kalamazoo]], Michigan), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, expressed concern over the easy access to personal mobile phone records on the Internet during a House Energy & Commerce Committee hearing on "'''Phone Records For Sale:''' ''Why Aren't Phone Records Safe From Pretexting?''" [[Illinois]] became the first state to sue an online records broker when Attorney General Lisa Madigan sued 1st Source Information Specialists, Inc. A spokeswoman for Madigan's office said. The Florida-based company operates several Web sites that sell mobile telephone records, according to a copy of the suit. The attorneys general of Florida and [[Missouri]] quickly followed Madigan's lead, filing suits respectively, against 1st Source Information Specialists and, in Missouri's case, one other records broker&nbsp;– First Data Solutions, Inc.

Several wireless providers, including T-Mobile, Verizon, and Cingular filed earlier lawsuits against records brokers, with Cingular winning an injunction against First Data Solutions and 1st Source Information Specialists. U.S. Senator [[Charles Schumer]] (D-New York) introduced legislation in February 2006 aimed at curbing the practice. The Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006 would create [[felony]] [[Criminal law|criminal]] penalties for stealing and selling the records of mobile phone, [[landline]], and [[Voice over Internet Protocol]] (VoIP) subscribers.
