As can be seen on a daily basis, there is a credible risk that someone is listening in to, and in some cases watching your interactions or that of your colleagues or family. Whether this is in the office, home, vehicle, hotel room or any other environment. They can track your daily life and interactions to ascertain history, current status and future intentions. Sometimes a meeting or simple conversation can give away key information about your personal life or business. Technical surveillance (recording devices) can disrupt business in many ways, not least through loss of research, contracts, court settlements and reputation, but also staff poaching, falling share prices and extortion.
