Just now, as I was in bed and quickly wanted to check the overnight weather to decide if I wanted to open the window a bit, and went to BBC.co.uk/weather, the following suggestions popped up when I wanted to enter “Portsmouth” in the search window on the page:

• Willem
• policing
• tentacles

WTF?

That’s mighty weird.

This is the phone that I have just started using because my regular one – which has more memory and was able to run lots of apps – got “killed”. (It does still seem to do texts and calls but nothing else.)

(This newer one that is only able to run two or three apps is also compromised. I don’t actually know what number its English SIM has; I’d have to look it up.)

I am constantly buying new phones and SIM cards desperately trying to stay ahead of the stupid hacking.
