10-digit key code for tapping into private lives
The next time someone asks you for your cellphone number, you may want to think twice about giving it.
The cellphone number is more than just a bunch of digits. It is increasing-ly used as a link to private information maintained by all sorts of companies,
including money lenders and social networks. It can be used to monitor and predict what you buy, look for on-line or even watch on television.
It has become “kind of a key into the room of your life and information about you,” said Edward Stroz, a for-mer high-tech crime agent for the FBI who is co-president of Stroz Fried-berg, a private investigator.
Yet the cellphone number is not a legally regulated piece of informa-tion like a Social Security number, which companies are required to keep private.

Clinton blames FBI for defeat
Hillary Clinton on Saturday cast blame for her surprise elec-tion loss on the announcement by the FBI director, James Com-ey, days before the election that he had revived the inquiry into her use of a private email serv-er.
In her most extensive re-marks since she conceded the race to Donald Trump early Wednesday, Clinton told donors
on a 30-minute conference call that Comey’s decision to send a letter to Con-gress about the inquiry 11 days before Election Day had thrust the controversy back into the
news and prevented her from ending the campaign with an optimistic closing argument.
“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful,” Clinton said, ac-cording to a donor who relayed the remarks. But, she added, “our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum.”
Clinton said a second letter from Comey, clearing her once again, two days before Election Day, had been even more dam-aging. In that letter, Comey said an examination of a new trove of emails, which had been found on the computer of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides, had not caused him to change his earlier conclusion that Clinton should face no charges over her han-dling of classified information as secretary of state.
