Anti-war activists recently managed to hijack a limited number of phone
calls headed for Lockheed Martin employees, the company told MSNBC.com
on Friday. The firm described the incident as mischief and said there
was no indication that sensitive information had been stolen.

The attack was described as a simple call-forwarding trick that allowed
activists to forward calls destined for employee cell phones to
telephone lines controlled by the activists.
