BT should face prosecution for its "illegal" trials of a controversial ad-serving technology, a leading computer security researcher has said. Dr Richard Clayton at the University of Cambridge made his comments after reviewing a leaked BT internal report. The document reveals details of a 2006 BT trial with the Phorm system, which matches adverts to users' web habits. "It's against the law of the land," he told BBC News. "We must now expect to see a prosecution."
