Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

All I know is that there were better-informed reports early in this saga saying that some hacking involved supplying a 15-digit number which allows the person holding it to change the voicemail password.

There's so much, it'd be hard to dig out references, and it's time to go home. And is the "search thread" function hiding from me, or missing?
No search thread function on Xenforo yet. You can do it through google by adding site:urban75.net/forums/threads/missing-milly-dowlers-voicemail-hacked-by-news-of-the-world.277146 to your search.

The Hansard transcript I posted above has what you're looking for, I think.
 
Please educate me. That's what I was asking for, after all.
I gave you the link to the information. You skim read the first screen and declared that it proved you right all along. You're not interested in being educated, and if you're unable to admit that you got something wrong, you will never be able to learn anything anyway, so what is the point of me wasting my time?

Ouch touchy. Best not ask for any guidance from you again! Which bit was I wrong about?

Ta. That suggests only vanilla blagging - impersonating the hackee, audio-stylee.

Let's see... http://www.itworld.com/security/181313/how-hack-cell-phone-voice-mail-better-news-world

Refers to good old Auntie in 2002: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1966381.stm

Still looking for the reference to how they changed PINs... blagging, IMEI spoofing in hardware, or supplying the IMEI to the mobile service provider to make it look like a legit request?

Thousands and thousands of them though. Pretty much access to anyone's phone at any time. And most most if not all other communications media.

They had a military guy hacking emails, didn't they - did he have access to military shit to do this? They had (were?) the police, politicians, they had every power imaginable if they wanted to lean on you. They had the whole fucking country in their pocket. Murder seems to have been involved. Deliberately fucked up investigations and trials, lies told to the highest levels of Inquiry and an arrogance that comes from being...

untouchable

It would have been quicker for you to be helpful than type this. But, apology from me about being so combative/dense. Drink is no excuse.

These apparently the people who featured in the Gillard Flynn book

Names that seem to crop up form time to time in the hacking.

I notice Bob Quick also in 'ghost squad' seems a very strong link between this squad the people who headed the anti terror police

Sorry for the long c&p

FYI

The Flynn/Gillard book is at last being reprinted - Bloomsbury is putting it out in April.
 
IIRC Flynn is working in South Africa at the moment. Gillard has had some articles in the Times/ST recently.

Norris/Davidson, SERCS, Plumstead, Lawrence murder, Lawrence Inquiry, News Of The World, Southern Investigations, Daniel Morgan murder, Rees, Fillery, Yates, Hayman, screwing, fake informants, senior Met management feuds, evidence planting - all these things were being dug into by Flynn & Gillard in the late 90s up until Harry Potter sacked them. They have - I would imagine - an awful lot of useful information.

There has been a lot of interest in a reprint for several years, but Leveson has certainly given Bloomsbury a great commercial imperative to get it out quickly (the last of the sub-£100 second hand editions having gone).
 
"...apparently..." "...appeared..." "...sources said..." Bollocks.

Reuters version:
Three sources close to the company told Reuters on Tuesday the two journalists at the Sun daily appeared to have tried to take their own lives.
Not exactly journalism, is it.
 
It couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Perhaps, though there does seem to be a campaign for him to end up being held to account for this when its at least as likely that others - Blair, Quick, various senior Labour figures, Gus O'Donnell (all of whom are pointing the finger at Yates) - were perhaps more responsible than he was for the actual scandal (as opposed to Cameron's vain attempt to cover it up to protect Coulson), plus of course at least some of them have reasons to go after Yates for reasons totally unconnected to phone hacking.

Though I concede that my view of Yates is coloured by the belief that he appears to be the only person in this argument of ex-senior officers who isnt actively engaged in trying to privatize bits of the same service (which of course will mean disposing of the officers and staff (and reduced incomes for the rest)) that they led for much of their careers.
