BBC read that <\/a>might convince a few people that the information technology involved in setting up national database systems isn’t going to be intruder-proof. <\/p>\nMy precis:<\/p>\n
Basically two policemen moonlighting as phone crackers etc for a private detective agency that provided tech interruption services to a toxic waste company to carry out surveillance on local planners and environmentalist opponents. (Plus the hiring guy’s wife when they were getting a divorce .)<\/p>\n
The guy put on BT overalls and attched the devices to BT lines. Noone batted an eyelid obv until BT found its customers were getting ripped off for phone time.<\/p>\n
You couldn’t make this stuff up…. etc \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
