Piers Morgan is a shit stirring mercenary tabloid c t.
With any luck he'll be summoned back to the UK to answer for going through peoples bins and voicemails for the last 20 years along with the Murdoch monsters.
And then hung.
In case that's not clear, I don't really like him.


He's got a hell of an investigative crew though. Seth was genuinely amazed he found this crap out.

Heh heh ... How did he know! He's never told the story!

Maybe he left a voicemail

What amuses me is that "hacking cell phones" has turned out to be "guessing voicemail passwords". I bet most of their information was gained by entering 1234 or 1111 into people's voicemail. Hacking? Stupid cell phone users for sure.

There are only 9999 10,000 possibilities and, since voicemail generally doesn't employ any sort of tarpitting or other brute force protections, I'm sure one could write a script to try voicemail passwords pretty rapidly. You don't even have to try them in succession since voicemail systems can handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Why find some clever backdoor or exploit when you can brute force the thing in a matter of an hour?

These guys aren't that smart. The majority of people aren't that smart and so, yes, entering default pins is characterised as "hacking". However it's done it still means an offence under the RIP Act. Of course it would be interesting if they did secure some hacker's services to brute force passwords. Nothing would surprise me from hereon in.

Story goes that some guy in the early days of phone use alerted a tabloid to this problem who surprisingly did not get back to him or run a story based on the tip. What happened is that the practice rapidly spread through Fleet Street. Another little scam journalists would do is hand new phones to crime victims they had access to so they could "stay in touch". The phones either had the default pin or changed to one the journalist knew.

Easy way to turn it around. Since all these "journalists" are now in the public eye, they can be treated as a public figure/star/celebrity and anyone can go through their trash, sit outside their homes, listen to their voicemails, steal their mail...etc etc.

Collect it for awhile then be in their face obnoxious with the info. See if they change their mind if people actually get dirt on them that would make their life even worse. I am assuming now they all make good cash defending their point like this because otherwise there is absolutely no reason to go on these shows.
