Threats
Data Leakage
Data leakage occurs when a a piece of technology is swapped or modified to exfiltrate data (audio, video, or TCP/IP traffic). Such attacks can involve modifying telephones or installing transmitters in severs to stream out data. Such high-level attacks are typically conducted by sophisticated adversaries.
GPS Vehicle Tracking
GPS trackers may be installed on vehicles by aggressive private investigators, stalkers, and others with ill intent. GPS tracking devices can be used to locate a person, correlate his/her activities, and develop a "pattern of life" that can be used to harm someone.
Room Bugging
Bugs are small radio frequency (RF) transmitters used to eavesdrop on conversations. Although bugs can be hidden in practically anything, the RF energy they produce cannot be hidden. Eavesdroppers, however, use various techniques to disguise this energy, which is why it is wise to hire a professional. Although generally illegal, bugs can be easily purchased in stores and online.
Telephone Tapping
Most business discussions are conducted in person or over web apps or cell phones, but VoIP, digital, and even analog telephones can still be found in most workplaces. All of these systems are vulnerable to compromise. Such attacks are beyond the scope of most IT or cybersecurity professionals and require specialized knowledge of telephony and eavesdropping methods to reliably detect.
Covert Cameras
Covert cameras can be used to monitor employees, spouses, and tenants. More sophisticated adversaries can use them to view computer screens, key strokes, or sensitive presentations. Fortunately, such cameras can usually be detected by professionals.
Most eavesdropping methods require physical access to the target site. Therefore, physical security and access controls are key to mitigating such threats. Special attention must be paid to workplace space use design, construction materials, IT systems in leased environments, and access control permissions.
