Ayers Rock/Uluru in central Australian desert, Northern Territory. 1992.

Vodafone Australia has admitted hacking a Fairfax journalist’s phone to find out who her deep throats were inside the company.

Natalie O’Brien penned a story about how Vodafone’s Siebel data system was vulnerable to hacking, and that the data of millions of customers was available online.

The company has said that one of its employee’s hacked O’Brien’s phone records in an attempt to uncover her sources for stories. However it denies any “improper behaviour.” True, it did mislead the authorities about systemic privacy breaches, but you should trust it that it never did anything wrong.
