I Wouldn't Want That Phone Bill

AT&T is apparently dropping its attempts to collect a $1M phone bill from Michael Smith of Ipswich, Massachusetts, who says someone hacked into his company's phone system in 2009 and made nearly $900,000 in calls to Somalia. AT&T originally sued Smith for $1.15 million to recover the cost of the calls plus interest, but, on Monday, announced their intent to drop pursuit of this claim.
