In Corporate Eavesdropping, what is "at risk" is the loss of sensitive information.
Data about products, new releases, pricing, strategies, future planning, financial structuring, etc., is what corporate eavesdropping is all about. Generally, it occurs at corporate offices, in private meetings, or on corporate computers where surveillance equipment might be placed to obtain secret information. However, it has also been used within the privacy of the corporate executive's home.
In Home/Residential Eavesdropping, what is "at risk" is the loss of
sensitive financial or personal information.
- • With the increase in personal banking over the Internet, illegal attempts to seize personal credit card or banking information
is growing. Providing similar information over phone lines or cordless phones can also have risk factors.
- • Sometimes there are domestic or home issues with legal implications, and the bugging may be used to develop
negative information about the targeted individual.
- • Matrimonial issues with bugging by a private investigator is not uncommon.
- • Recently, national television reported a case of a neighbor stalking the inhabitants of a house, making a video recording
in private areas of the home with a hidden camera.
- • And there are others...
Risk factors for home eavesdropping will vary widely, as noted above, depending upon what life situations exist for any given individual. A person needs to ask: "How much sensitive information do I verbally transmit within my home on a day to day basis? If this information were to become known, what could my potential loss be?"
Usually the occupants, if they think about what is going on in their life, can estimate whether their situation warrants professional help. Contact us if you believe that you have a problem. We will meet with you in a secure environment to review your concerns.
