Krakow posted proof of all this to Twitter.

They were going to call up Verizon, pose as a technician on site trying to help out a customer, John Brennan, but for some reason were having trouble. So they called Verizon asking for help on his account. Verizon is like, what's your employee code? They made one up and it worked. The support technician at Verizon asked, well, why can't you just get into the account yourself?
