There has been a lot of speculation in the national press over the course of the last week or so about hacking into the phones of certain high profile people. The worrying thing is that this could happen to 90 percent of the general public.
For obvious reasons, I will not go into the method they are using to hack into your phone but this can be done easily by me, you or anyone with half a brain.
Most service providers provide a default pin number for your voice mail and anyone can find out what this pin number is by checking the various providers websites or even a simple google search. I would urge everyone to change their 901 pin number in order to protect the security of your messages.
To change your PIN
• Call 901 from your mobile
• You will hear the main menu options - select option four
• Follow the prompts to complete the change
To do this you will need to know the default pin number of your Voicemail 901. If you have not changed this pin it will be set as 8705. I don't think I am giving anything away by revealing this number as it will be with any O2 literature and also available within the technical pages of this website.
Of course there are not many national secrets to be gained by hacking my and most other peoples voice mail.....but think of the consequences should your partner/wife/business rival access your private messages.
Protect yourself now and change your pin.
