Vermont Law Firm Says Federal Gov’t Has Tapped Its Phones

HeadlineOct 15, 2007

Meanwhile, the Vermont law firm of Gensburg Atwell & Broderick has warned its clients that it believes the federal government has tapped its phones and hacked into its computer system. The Burlington Free Press reports a Verizon technician recently found the law firm’s phone lines were crossed. A forensic examination of one of the firm’s computers found an application that disabled all security software and would have given someone access to all information on the computer. The firm represents a client in Afghanistan as well as one of the prisoners held at Guantánamo.
