FMI : see 17 USC 107,
a hacker hacked the AES /plex correction block section that allows auto-updates without bringing the telephone system down. When Vodafone was notified of the breach, the immediate knee-jerk effect was.... can anyone guess.... terminate the rogue program.
The better course of action would be 1.) notify authorities that a breach has happened, 2.) use the logs... to identify the following a.) where is the breach both electronically and physically, b.) is any information being logged ? , c.) if so then identify which and what is being logged to guess what is being hacked or sent to a third-party,
3.) in this case the telephone number, calls and times -- a.) could have been used to triangulate
using geometric means... a to b.... a to c..... a to d ..... then where is b, c, d, .... calculate distance from a..... connect the dots.... b.) don't shut the log or the process down until the perpetrator is arrested....
4.) DONT kill the LOG!!! or the PROCESS.... you might ALERT the INTRUDER...
anyway... both VODAFONE and Greece Authorities dropped the BALL...
SO IS YOUR PHONE TAPPED? ...the answer is,..... probably so...
so use PGP, SSH, and SSL... or for most secure physically move the files.....
Cheers
