Results unveiled by the communications regulator have said that there has been a number of cases of unlawful hacking of phone systems in the first part of 2011.
The Commission for Communications Regulation (Comreg) has distributed a warning to all businesses and organisations after there’s been an increase in the amount of those who believe their telephone exchanges have been illicitly hacked.
The statutory body, that is in charge of the regulation of the electronic communications sector including telecommunications, radiocommunications and broadcasting transmitting and the postal sector, examined 22 complaints from the first six months of this year and of these issues, 21 were regarded valid.
Even though this is a fall in the variety of complaints from 25 in 2010, the news follows the stunning phone hacking scandal at the News of the World where many editorial staff supposedly hacked the telephone systems of missing children’s parents and dead soldier’s relatives.
Comreg is stressing the practice isn’t comparable as attacks have typically took place when the property are vacant or when telephone use is not checked. But business owners are now being encouraged to make sure security software is up-to-date and to take preventative measures.
