Re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families
If anyone thinks it was just News International papers up to this they are kidding themselves. There was this little nugget in a bailout a few months back.
Quote:
Back in 1999 a British man says he had some problems with his new mobile phone account.
His phone network found out his answer machine had been accessed by someone else. He was advised to change his phone and number and to set a password to protect his messages. The*phone company told him exactly how it was done*and*how to avoid it. So, being a good citizen, the man went to The Sun.
He thought the newspaper should do a big splash on this huge potential issue. They took down the details, told him how interesting it was and sent him away. Weirdly, he thought, no story ever appeared.
So he took the story to The Mirror. They too seemed interested. And yet, again, no story.
