--- From: "Steven M. Bellovin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 21:28:31 -0500 I hate to play clipping service, but this story is too important not to mention. Many top Greek officials, including the Prime Minister, and the U.S. embassy had their mobile phones tapped. What makes this interesting is how it was done: software was installed on the switch that diverted calls to a prepaid phone. Think about who could manage that. http://guardian.co.uk/mobile/article/0,,1701298,00.html http://globetechnology.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060202.wcelltap0202/BNStory/International/ --Steven M.
