NI: Law Society NI in phone hacking warning

The Law Society of Northern Ireland has warned its members to be vigilant of phone hacking.

The Society said it has received reports that some local solicitor firms have been the victim of phone hacking.

The hackers are deliberately targeting local solicitor firms and businesses, particularly when they are closed.

The hacker identifies open or unused phone lines and ports on computers which they then use to make international phone calls at potentially huge cost.

Action can be taken to ensure phone lines and ports are closed and international calls blocked.
