O2 customer beware at what you are saying over your mobile phone
O2 customers are being told to beware what they are saying over their mobile phone as other customers have been connected to other people's phones and able to listen into the call.
Full Story here. |

A bit of a security flaw surely, especially for businesses. Someone has reported hearing other people talking to their bank!

I thought it was weird the other day...I got cut off from my call and could just hear someone with a broad Scots accent rambling on about a car. ( I think his accent was probably his best security!!).
At least there is now an explanation for it..... |

Have we had any comment from O2 yet? it was in The Register and some other places online yesterday. Today MoneySavingExpert, if this continues it'll get picked up by the mainstream news.
Just the thought that a very personal conversation could be being listened in to by somebody else without your knowledge is terrible. Why no comment from O2 I wonder? |

No reason why Voda should be affected. |

This reminds me of the old days when you could listen into calls on a scanner.

As expected, it's now being reported by more mainstream news sites. |

I was taking to a guy about a car when a female voice speaking Spanish cut across.
Bizarre, never had that happen before |

Sounds like it's still happening.
As predicted it's being reported in all the papers now. After last years incident where they spewed out users phone numbers to all websites they visited this is a touch embarrassing. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/new...les-calls.html http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ers-calls.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...listen-in.html |
