Richard Kirk Kirk hacked into more than 300 eBay users' e-mail accounts after cracking their passwords. He then was able to steal money from his victims' usually secure PayPal accounts. He transferred money from PayPal into hundreds of his own accounts, and then used the stolen cash to buy valuable items, including gold bars. On Friday he was jailed for three and a half years for fraud and theft committed between 2008 and 2010. Nottingham Crown Court heard he stole more than £180,000 from his victims to buy gold jewellery, gold bullion bars and a Mitsubishi Shogun car on eBay. Victims were mainly individual account holders from Mansfield, Nottingham, Australia and Sweden. One account belonged to a special school in the North West for children with a short life expectancy. Kirk used the school's website, which sold memorabilia, to sell gold bars. After he agreed a sale of £3,000, the gold was never sent to the buyer. "Richard Kirk is a professional eBa...

Six ways your phone can be illegally tapped !

Six ways your phone can be illegally tapped !

Feb 20, 2011
Phone tapping in India has become a national concern with a leading operator revealing that at peak there are upto 100 phone tapping requests a day. In India there are ten major operators, at a conservative average of 50 taps a day per operator, there would be 182,000 authorized phone taps each year.  Not a significant number for a country of 500 million cell phones considering the real need to tap corrupt officials, drug dealers, suspected terrorists, mafia and other antisocial elements. To meet this requirement over 2000 such phone tapping equipment was imported by private security agencies, large businesses besides police and government agencies. Since phone taps are authorized only by the government, it is quite probable that some of the equipment in private hands is being used illegally for spying on politicians and businessmen.  There are six ways in which modern phone systems can be illegally tapped for corporate espionage and spying: 1)   Use of Over the Air t...
