I find it interesting that this sort of snooping is now being attributed to 'hackers' - even making the fairly safe assumption that they mean 'crackers'. Really, a lot of this seems to be plain old espionage of the type that you could easily imagine popping up in a 1960s spy serial. Interesting, for sure, but not really the sort of clever manipulation that you would normally ascribe to 'hackers'. Now, the curious part of me wants to go off and think about whether this seemingly false attribution is indicative of anything more significant in the wider world... but the cynical part of me wants to seize the moment and start marketing super-high-end non-reflective eyeglasses to paranoid executives!
