My opinion would be to suspect that someone in BT either was negligent in their checks on Phorm and their unsavoury past (present in 2006?) history, or perhaps something more sinister and underhand went on to allow an alleged spyware company intercepting customers ISP web data without their knowledge.
Lets face it, if 121Media (Phorm) at the time had so desired in 2006, they were given access to lots of private (secret) information of unsuspecting customers and probably insufficient checks were in place to prevent anything untoward happening by BT. If what I have read on this forum is true and high level network security BT personal was unaware of what went on at the time, it would be very worrying.
I hope the police investigate the whole scenario do a really proper and in-depth job and find out what actually went on behind the scenes.
If there is anything underhand and untoward apart from the obvious illegalities or running the trials without permission, I hope heads will severely roll.
