"A highly sophisticated spying operation that tapped into the mobile phones of Greece's prime minister and other top government officials has highlighted weaknesses in telecommunications systems that still use decades-old computer code. The spying case, where the calls of around 100 people using Vodafone’s network were secretly tapped, remains unsolved and is still being investigated."There's nothing like a good tech mystery. :mrgreen: This particular story deals with Vodafone and it happened in Greece. There's no reason to think that it can't happen elsewhere. In fact, who's to say it hasn't already been done with your carrier? ;)
