EchoStar files against NDS

EchoStar is attempting to sue News Corp's NDS Group for alleged sabotage of its security technology. The US satellite broadcaster has claimed that NDS staff hacked into its systems and deciphered coding for the 'smart cards' that give customers access to programming.

NDS said the allegations are, "baseless and nothing more than an attempt by a competitor to harm NDS." President and CEO Dr. Abe Peled said: "NDS had nothing to do with the piracy of EchoStar's DBS system, or any other system. We are the world's leading supplier of conditional access systems for pay-TV and have a long-standing commitment to eradicating piracy from the entire conditional access industry. We have spent millions of dollars and thousands of man hours towards that goal".
