It seems that during the London riots, groups of looters were organized through the use of RIM's Blackberry Messenger service. RIM then announced that they will be aiding the authorities in helping to track down the organizers of the riots/looting, but in response they got their website hacked by a group/individual who felt that generalizing everyone who used BBM during the riots was unfair. . It seems that security has stepped up and the government has brought in the big guns with MI5 and GCHQ, an electronic interception center.
Ubergizmo, MI5, GCHQ to aid authorities in tracking, intercepting and tracing social messages in London riots
