PHONE-HACKING SCANDAL The expose of a scandal that revealed the mobile phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, countless celebrities and even the families of fallen soldiers had been hacked quickly resulted in the News Of The World's demise.

To do this just to put a story in a rag is lower than a snake's belly," said ETCTEfflWl PROTECT YOUR VOICEMAIL As recent reports have proven, you don't need to be an A-list celebrity for an unscrupulous individual to target your voicemail - you may well have a nosey 'friend' or overly protective partner, for example. Fortunately, it's simple to prevent someone gaining access to your messages. The scam takes advantage of the fact that most people don't change the default PIN that lets them access voicemail via a landline. Unless you're a pay-as-you-go user and out of credit, you may not even know that such a service exists. The solution is simple: change your PIN. The exact process for changing your PIN differs slightly between the UK mobile operators, but all involve dialing the voicemail service and selecting the relevant option. Be sure to pick a number that has no meaningful importance to you. See tinyurl.com/3f8v6ga for more tips.
