10 Downing Street Hacked by Cops
SUS | 21.01.2007 12:02 | Technology
Police have allegedly hacked into 10 Downing Street computers to get evidence in the Cash for Honours inquiry. It's difficult to know what to make of this being neither a fan of Downing Street or the police.
My first thoughts:
Everyone is vunerable to hacking and police surviellance;
If the police can hack into Downing Street then so can anyone and the
UK government is criminally insecure;
If the police can do this now for this investigation then they could have done it for the Scott Report and the Hutton report and the 'dodgy dossier' which were all more serious crimes that led to mass murders so were all more serious crimes. If evidence recovered from this hack also reveals complicity in those crimes then war crimes trials become a real possibility;
By holding back evidence then Blair has proven himself a criminal even if if is like getting Al Capone on tax evasion.

Probably just press hype

What actually happened is probably more like: as part of the investigation, they asked somebody to give them something (like the contents of their email archive), and got lucky.

If you wanna read pretty reliable IT news I recommend
These people are UK oriented, normally get the technical stuff right, write about technical things in a way which is interesting even if you don't understand it all and they have a great disrespect for government. I am not connected to them in any way!
