Broadcasters’ email hacked
p2p news / p2pnet: Argentinian broadcasters Ernesto Tenembaum and Luis Majul say their personal email accounts have been hacked and sent to government officials.
"Tenembaum said during his Radio Mitre programme yesterday that some of his e-mail messages, containing off-the-record exchanges with officials and judges, had been sent from his own e-mail address without his knowledge to members of the government and other journalists," says Reporters Without Borders.
"He said he discovered this from fellow-journalist Marcelo Slotogwiadza, who had himself received by e-mail part of Tenembaum’s exchanges with interior minister Aníbal Fernández, supreme court justice Eugenio Zaffaroni, Quilmes mayor Jorge Villordo, former judge Pablo Lanusse, and Santoro, the first journalist to report that his e-mail had been hacked."
Majul, who produces la Cornisa, told RWB that on May 21, a message with the email addresses of leading political and business personalities, "had been sent to some of his contacts from his own e-mail address".
Tenembaum and Majul plan to file complaints claiming violation of their private correspondence with judge Guillermo Montenegro, who is already investigating the Santoro case, says the story, adding:
"Both Tenembaum and Majul have suggested that the intelligence services could be involved, although the president’s chief of staff ruled this out."
This follows a similar case reported on May 11 involving Daniel Santoro of the Clarín daily newspaper, adds RWB.
