Technology has brought many conveniences to our daily lives, but it has also created new risks for our privacy. Illegal surveillance and data or conversation interception are real threats — for both individuals and businesses. Knowing the warning signs and acting early is key.

What Are Surveillance Devices?
Surveillance tools come in many forms, such as:
- Hidden cameras
