Threats and solutions

Waste in the house, office and business areas.

Threat:

By far the simplest way to gather information about somebody is by simply looking at the rubbish. The taking of rubbish is totally legal. Here people can look at important annotations, receipts, ideas and letters etc, etc.
Even the use of the simple paper shredder is not safe anymore. There are programmes (un-shred) that reform the long thin slices into normal readable text.

Solution:

The purchase of shredder that uses the cross cut technique. This way the paper is shredded into minute flakes. It is then virtually impossible to discover what was on the paper. In companies it is better if you give your personnel their own small cross-cut shredder than to use one large one everybody. From my experience we know that not everybody will use it. Laziness plays a role here.

For safe and high-quality shredders you can visit our online Detectnu shop or make contact with us by e-mail.

Senders and cameras

Threat:

Very small transmitters and cameras that work on batteries and have a range of 500 to 5000 metres from transmitter/camera to receiver.
It is becoming easier to buy and use miniature transmitters and cameras.

Also the use by public bodies has been relaxed. Through modern technology they are becoming even smaller. Due to this it is possible to hide them anywhere. In the house, office, car, clothes and products like mobile phones, calculators, ties, screws, glasses, briefcases, ashtrays, eyes of paintings, watches etc. Because they are cordless they can really be hidden anywhere.

Through modern techniques the opening of locks has also improved, you would never notice if someone had been inside in order to place a transmitter or a camera. Earlier this year at a detection assignment, we found transmitters that were completely buried in the wall. This was about corporate espionage.

Solution

If you suspect the presence of senders or cameras in an area, be very careful what you talk about, what you do, that is obvious. You can take your conversation or activities outside or to another location. Even here you do not know if it is safe, think about directional microphones. Even outside your conversation partner could be carrying transmitter or cameras himself.

One solution could be the purchasing of an expensive noise generator which would interfere with all equipment. You can also wear a sender detector that vibrates if there is a transmitter or recorder in the area. Transmitter detecting equipment costs thousands of pounds and demands substantial training.
The best and safest way is to carry out a detection assignment (bug-sweep) by professionals.
Read the information about a detection assignment carefully through and then in a safe manner make contact with us. If there is anything it will be found!

Tracking

Threat:

The shadowing of someone or a vehicle with the use of a transmitter with a satellite signal or radiofrequency. This is mainly used by bodies to see where you are and where you are going. A transmitter is placed in or under your vehicle (car, boat, wagon, camper etc.) and a signal is sent.

In the past they could only globally see where somebody was but now with the use of, amongst other things, G PS transmitters and computers with maps (a sort of navigation system) they know where you are to within one metre.

Solution:

It is difficult to look under your vehicle every day yourself or maybe you see something suspicious. Therefore the transmitter is often placed where it is not visible. The only thing you can do is to call a professional who will scan your vehicle or boat to check for the presence of all sorts of transmitters!
Our Company offer this service, you can look under detection assignment or contact us in a safe manner. If there is anything, it will be found.

Telephone and mobile telephone taps:

Threat:

If there is a sender in the telephone or the telephone line is being listened to, we call this tapping. Tapping is also possible at the exchange where all telephone conversations come in and then they are directed.

With cordless and mobile telephones (GSM) all telephone conversations can be intercepted out of the air. The user is totally oblivious. Every telephone conversation can be listened to. With the correct knowledge and equipment everybody can tap a telephone line.
Through the American Echelon all conversations which contain certain words are recorded. At the touch of a button every suspect can be listened to. The system can then completely automatically handle all conversations that are carried out. For this the signature of a judge is necessary. You can also be listened to if you have had contact with the suspect, a family member or friend of the suspect or if your name coincidentally appears in a report. With SMS messages they don't have to type out the text, therefore you make it easier for the listener.
Even the (regular) changing of (prepaid) telephone numbers doesn't work. Every telephone sends out its own unique code (I. M. E. I.). If you change your telephone and number at the same time than they look to see which new telephones have registered by the telephone mast in your area. These are checked with speech recognition and they have you again. Your whereabouts is also possible with GSM telephones. So people can always check where you have been.

Solution:

It is best not to talk about anything of importance or about valuable information on the phone. If this is unavoidable then there is encryption (code) or scramble (interruption) equipment available that has to be used by all people taking part in the conversation.
It is also possible for us to check your telephone and telephone line for senders and/or taps. Look for this under detection assignments. An alternative is the use of a walkie-talkies or satellite telephones however these are also not totally guaranteed to be safe. It is also possible to get software for the computer with which you can use to carry out an encrypted telephone conversation over the Internet. Through research this appears to be extremely safe.
Within the very near future there will also be unique encrypted GSM telephones available. These will cost well over the € 5.000. They are extremely suitable for e.g Banks and solicitors offices. For this product and the products above keep in mind our online Eurospyshop!

For more information you can ask for an info-meeting.

Directional microphones and stethoscope

Threat:

With the use of directional microphones people can listen to all conversations from a distance of up to 500 metres. With a stethoscope people can hear through walls. Directional microphones are easily available. People only have to point the microphone in the direction of the conversation and regulate the sound until it is clear. A stethoscope is just as easily available and with it everybody can listen through walls and partitions, so it is possible that the neighbours just listen to all your conversations.

Solution:

To protect against directional microphones you can stand somewhere protected. If you are inside, close windows and doors. You can also put the radio or television on to in order to irritate the perpetrator. There are also special noise generators available that make it more difficult for the perpetrator to listen in to conversations. Also household equipment (vacuums and mixers) interrupt directional microphones.
You can also use and noise generator against a stethoscope. You can also put the TV or radio on. If you are in a detached house or building can make sure that you have a good camera system, to ensure that nobody can just trespass on your property. If you are in an adjoining house, flat or building, use the rooms that don't adjoin the neighbours.
