Greece reveals cellphone tap spy scandal: Mobile phones belonging to top Greek military and government officials ? including the Prime Minister ? and the U.S. embassy were tapped for nearly a year beginning in the weeks before the 2004 Olympic games [...]
the surveillance was carried out through spy software installed in the central system of Vodafone, the mobile telephony provider that served the targets.
Calls were then diverted to mobile phones using pay-as-you-go services, which are difficult to trace.

Athens Olympics phone tapping revealed: The government revealed that the phone tappers used interceptors traced to the vicinity of the US embassy.
The hi-tech surveillance system came to light after a routine check by Vodafone, the mobile phone company serving the targets, Mr Roussopoulos said. Spy software installed in the provider's central officers had diverted calls to an array of mobile phones acting as interceptors.
