NOT SO SECURUS: PART 2 Lawyers Speak Out About Massive Hack of Prisoners’ Phone Records

Posted on February 13, 2016 by Dissent

The Intercept follows up on its earlier report in which a hack of Securus revealed that 70 million phone calls had been recorded – many involving what should be privileged communications between attorneys and their clients.

Jordan Smith and Micah Lee report:

The Intercept’s analysis, to the contrary, estimated that the hacked data included at least 14,000 records of conversations between inmates and attorneys. In the wake of the story’s publication, we informed Bukowsky that her phone number had been found among the records and provided her a spreadsheet of the calls made to her office — including the name of the client and the date, time, and duration of the calls. In turn, Bukowsky searched her case files for notes and other records, ultimately confirming that at least one call with McKim — which was prearranged with the Missouri DOC to be a private attorney call — was included in the data. The privileged call, more than 30 minutes long, was made at the height of Bukowsky’s preparations for McKim’s hearing. A unique recording URL accompanied each of Bukowsky’s calls included in the data, suggesting that audio had been recorded and stored for more than two years — and ultimately compromised by the unprecedented data breach.
