The “leakage” of Vodafone data - how it was in reality

The dominance of yellowness in the Habré begins to get fed up, because I will slowly refute the most egregious "news." It is a pity you can not create a new blog, advise where to move if there is a more suitable place.



Today's Patient - A detailed database of millions of Vodafone customers has hit the Net



On January 9, Australian media holding Fairfax published in its news publication The

Sunday Age news "Vodafone mobile records leaked" - in the translation "Vodafone data leak occurred." The text of the news states the following:

We learned that criminal structures buy private data of some Vodafone clients with the purpose of blackmail. Also, some people may have got access to the records of the calls of their spouses.

Access to private data is possible from any computer, as they are stored on a public server, and not on a private company intranet. These data are the numbers of calls made and the numbers on which the SMS was sent, as well as the time and location of the caller.

And 9,000 lawsuits are actually a collective suit of customers due to dissatisfaction with the quality of the network.



The news is that the data to which any dealer or other authorized employee has access is stored on the Internet and not in a private network.

But after all, “A detailed database of millions of customers has hit the Web” sounds a lot louder, right?
