From CNET: Federal authorities have charged an ex-Verizon employee with selling phone records. Daniel Eugene Traeger pleaded guilty to a felony count of unauthorized access to a private computer. From 2009 to 2014, Traeger sold call records and location data to an unnamed private investigator.
Over the course of that period, Traeger was paid more than $10,000 according to court records. He now faces up to five years in prison though prosecutors are recommending a lesser sentence since he plead guilty as part of a plea deal.
Traeger was based in Birmingham, but authorities haven't specified whether the information sold just involved customers in Alabama.
