Did hackers listen to patient phone calls?
AN investigation is under way after hackers managed to infiltrate phone systems at a Bodmin hospital, a St Austell doctors' surgery and could have heard confidential medical details of patients.
Phone systems at Bodmin NHS Treatment Centre and Polkyth Surgery in St Austell were both hacked into by people trying to use the systems to make their own calls.
The Bodmin centre believes that hundreds of calls could have been made through the system by the hackers before it was discovered. County councillor Ann Kerridge from Bodmin said it was right that a thorough investigation should be carried out into a very worrying situation.
