Hacking Scandal - Families Of Killed Soldiers Were Targets

Col Douglas Young, the chairman of the British Armed Forces Federation, said police were failing families by leaving them in the dark about whether or not they had been targets.

He said he would seek a meeting with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner if families were not told within days whether or not they may have been hacked.

“It is now imperative that the police do follow up and do say as quickly as possible 'we have now contacted everybody involved’ because otherwise it is going to leave a lot of worry and concern,” he said.

A spokesman for the Army Families Federation added: “Families who have endured the loss of their soldier will find this privacy assault disgusting and indefensible, as will all serving personnel who will question the sanctity of their precious phone calls home.”

The Murdoch Empire, is disintegrating, Mordor-style, by the hour.
