How else would he get info about the guests? Hack their phones?

Can I clear something up, in my perception of the phrase 'phone hacking?'

As I understand traditional 'hacking', it is a process of technological and programming skill to gain entry to systems and data by defeating the security in place...........

'Phone hacking' as it has become known is more sinister in my view.

It involves blagging and bribery to gain the phone numbers of people you don't know and who don't want to know you and have no intention of ever wanting to know you, and then applying a very basic non technical method of assuming the role of that person and trying to access voicemail with the default code that most people don't change..........

The have eavesdropped on personal conversations and have tried to use the gained information for their 'own ends' as in selling lurid stories that would ordinarily not be public.

It is pure evil, illegal (surely) and the same as opening someone elses mail. Computer hacking is a criminal offence, the phone thing is a moral and hopefully criminal offence. It serves no purpose other than the newspapers ends for stories.

I get annoyed when its called hacking, because it clouds the issue about whatthey are actually doing, its evedropping, not a technical crime

Gossip columns

once they started hacking the Princes it was the beginning of the end.

I could have told them but do they listen to moi ?

Computer hacking isn't always technical either though, is it?
Whatever it is called, both things are a horrible invasion of privacy and cause distress.

Can someone explain to me why ALL suspects in Phone Hacking, Yewtree etc aren't questioned under caution rather than arrested?

Met him twice, once at work and then afterwards at the premiere party for Star Trek Generations. He came up to me as if he knew me, when he possibly recognized me from my workplace at the time but I walked off because I had nothing to say or do with him.

By then we had already nicknamed him Piss Moron and Chris Morris did the fantastic fake phone call to him as U2's manager.....
