There was one point not clear to me. It is one thing that Vodafone foolishly(?) deleted the spy program before investigators would have got the chance to catch the spies in the act. But, if the program was copied and its phone number database too, what about the phone numbers of the shadow phones? *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.

The last slide is an amusing historical reference for geeks :)
I don't know if that lead was explored, the article sidebar hints at it:
[...] Another popular theory posits that the U.S. National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, or some other U.S. spy agency did it. The location of the monitored phones correlates nicely with apartments and other property under the control of the U.S. Embassy in Athens. [...]
If the shadow phones number in the hundred some things becomes really hard to hide. And conspiracy theory of having the real spy hiding all the shadow phones near USA property undiscovered for more than a year harder to believe.
