Brooks Said Listening to Voice Mails Was ‘So Easy,’ Witness Says

Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive officer of News Corp.’s U.K. unit, told the ex-wife of a professional golfer that listening to other people’s voice mails was “so easy.”

Eimear Cook, who is divorced from Colin Montgomerie, said Brooks told her during a 2005 lunch how simple it was to listen to voice mails and that it was “ludicrous” that famous people weren’t aware how to protect them, she said testifying today.
