I am not really the one to tell whether such behavior derives from competence or incompetence. What i do know is that I will never again join any discussion which, at least, is not based on common sense. Ever.

I have enjoyed reading it so much, that I decided to go a bit off-topic on my blog and write a post about it.

In this article, the authors, whose knowledge and competence are undisputed, try and succeed in providing all the technical details of how a major mobile phone wiretapping incident, such as the one that took place in Vodafone Greece‘s servers, can be accomplished. This is probably the most complete article I have read about that cellphone wiretapping incident. I can safely say that it was hundreds of times more informative than any other article I have read in the Greek Press, as it focuses on the technical aspect of the incident without wasting more than the required space with speculation of who might have done it.

I highly recommend that all – not only the Greek readers – read the article. I suggest you download the PDF version from this page, so you can enjoy, together with the excellent content, the creative and informative illustration as well.

More information and links to news sites that host comments about the article can be found in this blog post by Diomidis Spinellis.
