Warning Signs of Bugging

You may be a target of illegal bugging or you may already be under attack

Technical Counter Surveillance and Warning Signs of Bugging

The warning signs of bugging are all around us.  Eavesdropping, electronic surveillance, and covert surveillance are all on a dramatic increase and a huge threat to corporations, government agencies and any one who has information that others want. This is due in part to the very competitive business commercial and political environment we live in, as well as the huge profits that the sale of stolen intelligence can bring. On a domestic front, divorce and asset division can bring a potential ex-spouse to bug and eavesdrop on their home to gain an advantage. And finally, high-net worth clients are always susceptible to being bugged to gain information that could be used against them.  The ability to identify some of the signs of covert surveillance can help you to identify and deal with potential threats to your business, reputation, competitiveness and bottom line before critical damage occurs.

Technical Threats

  • Competitive proposals, quotes or bids are being awarded to your competitors.
  • The contents and information of confidential documentation is quoted or referred to by outsiders.
  • There are signs of interference in the quality of your electronic communications such as emails, voice mails, and other digital communications.

  • Sudden continuous or intermittent interference to various systems including audio, video, and wireless communications.
  • Electrical outlets, wall plates, phone jacks, or fixtures and fittings seem to have been moved or are not straight when no work has been conducted.
  • New items (radios, clocks, phones, power adapter, lamp, calculator etc.) suddenly appear in your office or home with no hint of how they got there.
