Ji-Hyun Jun, one of Korea's top celebrities who is most well known for the hit TV commericals she starred in, had found her cell phone hacked. The police had found that the hacker was actually her own agent. Ouch, when you find someone behind such a creepy incident was actually the one closest to you, it's a slap in the face.
What has been uncovered alongside during the investigation was that cell phone hacking is a practice that's more commonly done than expected. Cell phone hacking is almost like a piece of cake: By hiring a professional hacker, you can peek at someone's cell phone records at as low as some US$2,000, the police say.
This leaves an obvious question: What if this cellphone records snooping is in fact something that happens all the time to many of us? Or, what if the hacking can be happening at someone's credit card and bank records too? Creepy, indeed. Obviously it's the downside of having an always-connected, ubiquitous society.
