At the bottom line, who's behind it? Interested parties within the Greek government, or external ones? To me this is the job of a dead insider's job or someone who had the incentive to Vodafone's security, which I doubt. Though, it is disturbing how easily these mobile numbers could be obtained as the majority of media representitives already have them! My point is that you should count them as the weakest link, besides accessing a mobile provider's database and other sources. UPDATE : Vodafone's statement UPDATE 2 : Cryptome featured more info on the The Greek illegal wiretapping scandal: some translations and resources.
Another recent spy case was the rock transmitter found in a Moscow park and while the Russian president Putin is cheering the discovery and keeping it diplomatic, the FSB (a successor to the KGB) is taking a note on this one. You can actually go through a collection of videos and references on the case.
I guess it's the silence that's most disturbing in the "Silent War".
