Because we hadn’t heard about this case before. — At all. If the vague information in this article is actually corroborated there’ll be an outcry alright.
"The message was picked up by their mobiles on Gatwick airport's Wi-Fi servers and immediately triggered alarm bells with security because of the sensitive words used."
I thought that was weird then and I still think it's weird now, either there is a pretty big problem or the daily mail is inaccurate. This whole article is lala land from a tech perspective and I'm quite curious about it.
From that article it seems like it's the kid who assumed it was the WiFi that caused the leak.
'But I was using the data on my phone and they were using the Wi-Fi at Gatwick and so the message was picked up by the security people.'
As far as I know, it doesn't seem like anyone in the UK has said where they got the info from. And the Daily Mail may just be assuming the kid's right and is jumping to a conclusion.
