Posted by kretz, edited by Adok. Spanish hacker news. A group of Spanish hackers called hispahack said that they have the passwords and therefore access to the contents of the Spanish police web page. The group of hackers say that they don't pretend to attack the page, but that other groups of hackers could, so the Spanish group should improve the security of the site. One group of phreakers called com-30, also from Spain, was arrested. 55 persons, including the leaders of the group, Dakon and X, who provided the information to the rest of the group. They were accused of having a free Internet connection. The trick they used was fooling the telephone central, so when they called to free phone numbers (900) the call was redirected to internet servers. So the companies which hosted the free telephone number had to pay it. Among those companies there is Microsoft Spain, Euskaltel, Nokia and others. Funny, isn't it?
