What brains or morals do this people have???

SL - it's not 'right' that they hacked into phones, but they didn't exactly rape children. They listened to a few answer-phone messages, when people were lax enough not to change their PIN number. I don't know what sort of messages you get but most of mine are 'I could do with a word about such and such can you ring me back' not a detailed message conveying confidential information.

Personally I think it's been blown up out of all proportion.

Apparently the NOTW informed thier staff of thier redundancies by leaving answerphone messages on someone elses mobile phone

Except when they were hacking into and then deleting messages from a missing teenagers phone, leading the police to think that she may have run away not been abducted. I know it didn't make any difference to poor Milly Dowler, but the NOTW didn't know that at the time. They could have been delaying an investigation and stopping the police from saving a life.

This is why your phone hasn't been hacked, not a very good story there, Patch.

Maybe is has, maybe it hasn't.

Anyone bought the new of the world today? ive lost my phone and need to know what answerphone messages were on it

Supposed to have been bunging the Police for inside info , wonder if there will be an investigation into that too.

They say it will re emerge as the Sun on Sunday , hope they re-employ the genuine workers who have lost their jobs.

I won't be buying that either.

Whatever someone has or has not done with their pin numbers, is irrelevant.

It does not give any other unauthorised person the right to listen into their personal messages,

whatever the content... (and deleted them FFS!!)..

Its about as logical as saying young or elderly vulnerable persons are more appropriate to rob because they have less defenses than the big weightlifting Gym freaks who pose a harder security to crack!

Back in the days when we only had traditional land line phones, it was quite easy to listen into any phone line by strapping a jumper wire at the exchage...

But IIRC it was an offence even for the police to tap a phone line without some clearance and authorisation from higher powers..

Yet now any journo' is allowed to listen into whatever they can get access to without any consequences..??

However it would appear that general public opinion carries some sway with the major advertisers withdrawing their funding, thus rendering the paper unfinancially viable...

Which shows the level of opinion and the advertisers not wanting to be tainted by association. :C

POWER TO THE PEOPLE !!

Was'nt there there the "Tinkerbell" section that did phone taps for the security services , Specs. ?

I think bribery and corruption in the police is far more worrying that listening to a few answer phone message.

Bit like the MP's expenses 'scandal'.

 

[sellers]

Throw the book at them,

you do something wrong and you should expect full consequences

Totally corrupt, what genuine paper does these tactics? Ok probably 90% of papers have done something like this before but not on this scale and those involved were probably dealt with in house before the situation escalated until nearly every person involved in current affairs having had their phone bugged.
