Jack Hacked
Jack Straw’s Blackburn office has been infiltrated by Nigerian IT fraudsters who sent requests for money to hundreds of his contacts.
The emails claimed Mr Straw had lost his wallet while he was on charity work in Africa and needed 3,500 US dollars to get home. They were sent to constituents, Ministry of Justice officials, Labour members and council bosses – and triggered an urgent response involving the Richmond Terrace office and officials in London…
The Justice Minister said: “I started getting phone calls from various constituents asking if I was really in Nigeria needing 3,000 dollars.
“We are checking all that and I am assured there’s no evidence that confidentiality of constituents was affected.”
The Blackburn MP…set up the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit to crack down on internet hackers when he was Home Secretary in 2001.
Confidentiality of constituents is fine. How about gullibiliy of Straw’s office staff? Or Straw, himself? He certainly has a track record of unquestioning obedience to Blair and Bush.

I think these guys may have had a better chance of raising the money of it was in return for Jack Straw staying in Nigeria.
