The Impact of Technical Surveillance Attacks on Victims
Every technical surveillance attack has victims. People whom were unaware that their movements, behaviour, discussions are being recorded.
Our operational role at Verrimus is to detect, identify and locate a technical surveillance attack. Our TSCM training role is to teach Government, Military and Police teams to be proficient TSCM specialists. We do always need to remember that technical surveillance attacks are not victimless. Being a victim of technical surveillance can leave victims with lasting issues and anxieties. This is particularly the case with those who have been subjected to voyeuristic hidden cameras.
“Scrolling through the website my friend showed me, I didn’t recognise myself at first as I had never made a sex video. But shockingly, the more I scrolled the more I found. Hidden camera footage of me having sex, pictures of me sleeping naked.
In those private moments where I should’ve felt the safest, I was being turned into an unwilling performer. And in the ultimate betrayal, my loving partner was selling the “porn” in which I was the oblivious star. I went straight to the police.”
