Police uncover evidence of hundreds more hacked phones

True extent of investigator Glenn Mulcaire's activities only now becoming apparent as Operation Wheeting continues



The Metropolitan police holds evidence that could prove hundreds of people had their phones hacked by the News of the World, Scotland Yard told the high court, a far greater number than had previously been believed.

Barristers for the Metropolitan police said notes seized from Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator on the paper's books, showed he made a note of 149 mobile phone pin numbers and around 400 unique voicemail numbers. Both are used to access messages left on mobile phones.

Jason Beer QC, for the Metropolitan police, told a high court hearing the figures were: "a snap shot in time as of last week". Until Friday, the police had maintained Mulcaire kept a record of just 91 pin numbers.

Or does Rupert have too much power in our U.S.?

And I don't mean tapping the phone of known terrorists. I mean local good ole boy networks that have dominated the criminal justice system listening in to ordinary people that threaten the corrupt status quo.

especially since Cell Phones are normally set to transmit in the clear, it requires no special equipment to intercept conversations.
I would never give up my Cell, even though I know it's insecure. I consider it more protection than a Gun. When criminals see the cell come out, they know their time is short and will usually go away. I know since it happened to me. I was about to get assaulted but as soon as they saw me dial, the creeps took off.

They're probably more scared that you'll photo i.d. them and send it off to the internets before they can subdue you, than afraid of a cop response.

if there is a chance that Murdoch is doing the same here.

I don't think it's just Murdoch. When you have or had slimeballs like Feeney around for too long, and you know how underground corrupt your county is, you know just how easily they can do it. They lack ethics and they have technology. They also control the Criminal Justice system. What's to stop them?

At least I have it in his head. I hope I planted a seed that will lead to an investigation.
