MATÁV
was informed by one of the commercial television companies that the
secret subscriber data of the company were allegedly disclosed on an
illegal CD-ROM. The company started an immediate investigation to find
out if the rumor was true. A copy of the CD-ROM in question will be
compared with the actual and valid database, and with an illegal
version published two years ago. As soon as the investigation is closed
we will inform the press about its result. What we can clearly state
for the time being is that neither the illegal copy found last year,
nor the present one contains the current status of the database, even
if some of the phone numbers on the disk start with a digit of three or
four.
