A hacker has broken into the phone system of the United States Agency for homeland security for 12,000 dollars (8150 euros) performed long-distance calls to the Middle East and Asia . As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced on Wednesday in Washington, the hacker said on the weekend on the voice mail system, more than 400 times in countries like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, India and Yemen. Most interviews lasted about three minutes, others up to ten minutes, as FEMA spokesman Tom Oshanski said.

The voicemail system was recently installed. This type of hacking is relatively primitive and "old school," said Jack Johnson, a security consultant. Ten to 15 years the method was widely used, now that the security precautions were being improved. "In this case it's a little embarrassing that the FEMA selbst passiert ist", sagte Johnson. Die FEMA gehört zur Behörde für Heimatsicherheit, die 2003 vor genau solchen Hackerangriffen warnte.
