Many top Greek officials, including the Prime Minister, and the U.S. embassy had their mobile phones tapped. What makes this interesting is how it was done: software was installed on the switch that diverted calls to a prepaid phone. Think about who could manage that. http://guardian.co.uk/mobile/article/0,,1701298,00.html http://globetechnology.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060202.wcelltap0202/BNStory/International/ --Steven M.
