Not Just The Phones

So awesome.

A journalist at the Sun has been arrested in north London by police from Scotland Yard's Operation Tuleta investigation into computer hacking.

Operation Tuleta is investigating the use of so-called "trojan" emails which allow a hacker to take over a target's computer.

One could imagine how reporters saw the phone "hacking" as somehow just an innocent game, as they were hacking phones using default passwords because no one ever bothers to set their voicemail passwords, but this would certainly be a whole new level.
