They absolutely exist and for a sensitive conference call such as this, each user should have had an individual pin and a role call should have been played (playback of each recorded name). Double logins would cause suspicion as well as non-recorded names. Also, all modern systems have a web interface that allows you to see the participants on you call. In some cases you can even bring up the phone number of each participant on your phone display. When it comes to telephony, it is nearly impossible to get important security measures enabled because people want everything to work the way it did for the last 15 years. Also, users absolutely refuse to educate themselves, it is just a phone, what is there to know. Yet look at all of the outrage over people logging into voicemail or performing theft of service due to trivial passwords, CLID spoofing and now simply dialing into a conference bridge.

There should be laws against people entitled to sensitive information sharing via indefensibly incompetent methods. That might make agents thing twice before doing something this stupid.
