Hackers compromise 70 million prison inmate phone records

An estimated 70 million phone calls made by prisoners in the United States have been hacked and leaked to The Intercept.

An anonymous hacker grabbed the files from Securus Technologies, which supplies phone services for prisons and jails across the United States. The batch unveiled contains recorded calls made between December 2011 and December 2014 in facilities located in 37 states and stored on Securus’s servers. The information was released via SecureDrop, a secure server set up by The Intercept for people to make anonymous data drops.

The Intercept is claiming that about 14,000 of the recorded calls were between lawyers and inmates and hinted that the recordings broke attorney-client privilege. The website was co-founded by Glenn Greenwald. For the full article click here
