A Variety of Methods Can Be Used to Tap Into Phone Messages
By RAVI SOMAIYA
Published: July 6, 2011LONDON — The term “phone hacking” dominating headlines around the world refers broadly to a variety of methods journalists at The News of the World and other British newspapers could have used to listen to thousands of voice mail messages until the scandal came to light.LONDON — The term “phone hacking” dominating headlines around the world refers broadly to a variety of methods journalists at The News of the World and other British newspapers could have used to listen to thousands of voice mail messages until the scandal came to light.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police, the force investigating the matter, said it was defining the practice as “the illegal interception of messages relayed by telecommunications that were not intended for the person who has intercepted them,” without providing specifics.
In practice, as court documents and interviews with those involved have demonstrated, the hacking involved a number of techniques.
They took advantage of default codes — like 1111 or 4444 — that cellphone providers in Britain gave users to retrieve their voice mail. Many customers did not change this standard number to a more secure code, allowing hackers to use it in one of two ways.
In the first way, according to current and former tabloid journalists interviewed for an investigation by The New York Times Magazine into the practice, one reporter would call the intended victim’s phone, engaging the line. A second reporter would call simultaneously, and would be directed to the voice mail system. There, the default codes could be entered, potentially allowing access to messages (which were then often deleted to prevent other rival newspapers from hearing them).
The second method was detailed on a recording obtained by The New York Times as part of the same investigation. In the recording, Glenn Mulcaire, a private detective jailed for six months in 2007 for phone hacking, described a method of calling into a voice mail system by dialing an external number provided for checking messages from other telephones, like land lines. It, too, required the default code to be entered.
If any of the intended victims had changed their codes, the hackers would resort to what they called “blagging” — calling cellphone companies, pretending to be authorized users or company insiders, and requesting that the access code be reset to the default.
Britain’s major cellphone companies — Orange, Vodafone, O2, Three and T-Mobile — said in interviews on Wednesday that their voice mail access procedures had become more stringent since the early 2000s, the heyday for phone hacking.". . .

Mobile phone
Mobile phones have numerous privacy issues. Governments, law enforcement and intelligence services use mobiles to perform surveillance in the UK and the US. They possess technology to activate the microphones in cell phones remotely in order to listen to conversations that take place near to the person who holds the phone.[16][17]
Mobile phones are also commonly used to collect location data. While the phone is turned on, the geographical location of a mobile phone can be determined easily (whether it is being used or not), using a technique known multilateration to calculate the differences in time for a signal to travel from the cell phone to each of several cell towers near the owner of the phone.[18][19]
[edit] Webtapping
Logging the IP addresses of users that access certain websites is commonly called "webtapping".
Webtapping is used to monitor websites that presumably contain dangerous or sensitive materials, and the people that access them. Though it is allowed by the USA PATRIOT Act, it is considered by many[who?] a questionable practice,[citation needed] if not an all-out violation of civil liberties.

"His decision to switch his British newspapers’ support to Mr. Cameron and the Conservatives in 2010 after backing Labour in three elections, many political analysts say, made a crucial difference in returning the Conservatives to power.
Similarly, when he dumped the Conservatives in favor of Labour in 1997, many say, he helped create the wave that kept Mr. Blair in office for the next decade.
That influence, unmatched by any other figure outside of politics, has been damaged by the phone-hacking scandal that erupted over News of the World.
The company’s decision to close News of the World will not end the scrutiny of the newspaper’s practices by the police, courts and Parliament and by a public panel of inquiry that Mr. Cameron has promised to appoint.
Together, these investigations seem likely to make for an inquisition that could run for years, causing further erosion in the credibility of the Murdoch brand and costing News International millions of dollars in potential legal settlements."

"Background
Rupert Murdoch, at 80, is still in charge at the News Corporation. He does not often speak publicly about succession, but he has made it clear he wants his children to run the company one day. He has told executives close to him that he would prefer three of his children — James, Lachlan and Elisabeth — to do it together.
But Lachlan Murdoch resigned in 2005 after chafing at the interference of his father and other executives. Elisabeth Murdoch worked for the company briefly before establishing her own television production company, Shine, which the News Corporation bought this year.
Over the past few years at its New York headquarters, the News Corporation has slowly purged executives, including Peter Chernin, the former president, and Gary Ginsberg, the top communications adviser, who were close to Rupert Murdoch and seen as stabilizing influences on him and a counterweight to his conservative politics. James Murdoch and a handful of executives close to him have sought to fill that power vacuum, with an abrasive style that has alienated many longtime associates of Rupert Murdoch.
While some have criticized James Murdoch’s ascent as a case of nepotism, he has proven himself in various company roles as a skilled operator. In his first major job, as the head of Star TV unit in 2000, James Murdoch turned the television service, which was then hemorrhaging cash, into a profitable division. Later, as the chief executive of BSkyB, he helped increase subscribers and pushed for high-definition programming.
The phone hacking scandal raised questions about whether James Murdoch would ever take the helm of his father’s $62 billion media giant. Behind the scenes, the two men’s relationship had frayed in recent years even before the hacking story broke, sometimes leaving them not even on speaking terms. The disagreements stemmed in large part from the clashing visions of a young technocratic student of modern management and a traditionalist who rules by instinct and conviction."
