OldBear Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) A leaked document suggests that BT have not been entirely truthful about the Trials of the highly controversial Phorm/Webwise ad serving system.

It also looks like they were involved in a huge javascript injection program.

zeroday Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Wow, if this true, and I have my doubts until I see the document myself or its reported in are reliable media outlet, site owners have the right to be ****ed. BT sticking their ads in without permission, isn't that interception of communication, and isn't making a modification to communication illegal?
