FEMA just can't catch a break. A hacker broke into the Federal Emergency Management Agency's voicemail system in Emmitsburg, Md last weekend, using the organization's phones to make more than 400 calls to the Middle East and Asia, racking up nearly $12,000 in charges.

"In this case it's sort of embarrassing that it happened to FEMA themselves -- FEMA being a child of DHS [Department of Homeland Security], with calls going to the Middle East," security consultant Jack Johnson told AP.

The hacker used an old hacking method to tap into the organization's recently installed phone system. Calls were made to a number of countries, including, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, India, and Yemen. Most of the calls lasted around three minutes a piece.
