School kids in South Africa have been able to listen in on Vodacom’s customers by dialing into a tech line, and entering a code. They can hear a random conversation within a 15km radius, with neither of the two parties on the line being aware of it. Probably another case of security by obscurity. These type of things need to be locked down - AND people need to be aware of when they are being tapped.
On Thursday, 702 and the Pretoria News were able to tap into the conversations of scores of people.
They ranged from businessmen discussing sensitive deals to a mother talking to her son, and even two people discussing a drug transaction.
