Townsville Bulletin: 'Da Vinci Code' threats [ 04mar05 ]

Townsville Bulletin: 'Da Vinci Code' threats [ 04mar05 ]: "AN extortionist who threatened to kill building workers unless a $50 million ransom was received from construction giant Multiplex used a 400-year-old code to communicate with the company.

The Vigenere Code - made famous recently by best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code - was invented in 1586 and not broken until 1860.

The Daily Telegraph yesterday cracked a version of the code the blackmailer used in his threats to the company.

The extortionist has been communicating with Multiplex via newspaper ads."
