This gives new meaning to 'You can't believe everything you read!' I'll have to check several sources before I can believe anything I read online. They should lock these hackers up and throw away the key! Also, if you need to send personal and confidential information through email, be sure you use email encryption to securely send encrypted messages, documents, and files. I use this free service to send and receive encrypted emails at https://www.sendinc.com/

"happy", not really as I see your point, BUT "Rough Justice" might just fit the bill.

You have no idea what you are talking about, you come over as a frustrated School Prefect. I on the other hand talk facts and can back it up with proof documents where are your credentials in your school locker room perhaps. END OF little Boy.

Bullshit. Senior GSM specialist here. A5.1 algorithm's damn strong (OK, if they used A5.0 - which China insists on, no problem as it's not encrypted).
However, that's not the issue. What they did was simply call the phone, and guess the 4-digit password to listen to the voicemail inbox. Many people don't reset the default password (0000, 1111, 1234, 5678 etc.) set when you buy the SIM card. That was the weakness NoTW exploited.
Radio scanners don't enter this equation. At all.
No, Carl. You're full of shit. Now piss off.

Lovely hack!!!!
"In his famous topiary garden".
"Topiary" being the pseudonym of the groups spokesman.

ahhhhhh geeeeze, the hackers committed a crime and seanoll is upset at the lack of justice. Murdoch is a white collar criminal that has made a fortune peddling lies and propaganda his whole life. Lies and falsehood that have hurt millions and millions. There is no parity whatsoever between the hackers and Murdoch.

Murdoch and all republicans and "conservatives" need to be transported to an island and nuked. Then we would rid the world of evil.

If you access the leaked emails is there a digital equivalent to a law like "handling stolen goods" so if there is a link on a webpage saying "click here for news corp emails" and you click it are you breaking the law?

I'd have thought news corps systems were better defended than most organisations including the government so it doesn't bode well. It makes you wonder what data hackers have that they've never bragged about. It doesn't bear thinking about.

These hackers need to be slammed in jail and the key thrown away.

So you are trying to tell me, the guy who single handily formulated the control program for the ‘Worlds First Communications High Capacity Super Controller & System’. That I don’t know what I’m talking about?

Incidentally four fifths of this program now controls all the Worlds Digital Telecommunications Systems including digital Television. As to encrypted signals decryption now takes only milliseconds. Most mobile phones transmitters use microwave transmission even faster to decrypt.

Here is a link to proof document singed by Bt’s head of Design & Build. Link to proof document here: http://twt.mx/RjM5

So, we are happy that a group of hackers commit a crime but unhappy that NI commit a crime? Please don't give me the public interest hogwash, this is still a crime and anyone thought how release of these emails may jeopardise any future trial?

you may want to edit the company name out ... especially given you really don't have a clue what you are talking about. 1) mobile phones don't use radio frequencies 2) their transmissions are all encrypted 3) the phones transmissions wern't what was hacked, it was the answer machines.
Really all your post is stating is your highly polarised political view - but then I followed the link and saw that you are a crackpot! awesome. but i congratulate you on finding an outlet in which to troll.

You can't hack phone calls using a radio scanner. Not this century anyway.

So very true in what you state as to it would be far more useful “if they tried to find something that is actually incriminating. Like email's, memos, money trail of bribes paid”. We the Taxpayers would be more interested in finding out how our hard earned money is being misused and abused. Especially how all the billions we have sent to Third Word Counties never seems to have any effect, so where is it?

Why does the caption on the image say the site was hacked by Anonymous, when the hack was (as you correctly identify in the main body of the article) done by LulzSec?

I think what luls is doing is just dumb. I mean, they aren't showing any skills here. The vigilante "justice" thing would have been much better if instead of usernames and passwords, they tried to find something that is actually incriminating. Like email's, memos, money trail of bribes paid....you know, something the authorities could use to string these criminals up.

So it's a OK for total hypocrisy from the likes of gormless Brown and Blunket phones hacked by Blunket @ http://twt.mx/RjES

Yet a totally different story when an investigative Newspaper seeks to find the truth. Don't forget anyone can hack phone calls by purchasing Radio Scanners freely available in the UK. There are even pocket sized powerful Phone/ Radio Scanners one can buy.
