Case Study #1

The Hawkins Firm was recently hired by a law firm on behalf of their client who was in the process of a divorce. The woman believed that her husband was illegally monitoring her telephone conversations and even felt that her home was bugged.

The results of the sweep were astonishing. The Hawkins Firm TSCM Sweep Team found hidden video cameras in the client's bedroom and bathroom. Even more alarming was the fact that the client's underage daughter from a prior marriage shared that bathroom.

Case Study #2

As reported in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a woman who heard clicking noises on her telephone contacted The Hawkins Firm to search her house for electronic surveillance equipment. The Hawkins Firm TSCM Sweep Team discovered a hidden spot in the attic stocked with duct tape, chloroform, towels, snacks and two phone lines that may have been used to listen to her phone conversations.

Case Study #3

The CEO of an Atlanta company received information that he was going to be illegally monitored. The Hawkins Firm staff installed equipment to monitor all areas the CEO accessed. The Hawkins Firm's team obtained video evidence of an unauthorized entry into the company's facility and the perpetrator installing a small eavesdropping device.

Top 5 signs that your home or office may be "bugged":

1. Confidential personal conversations have been compromised or proprietary company information ends up in the hands of competitors.

2. You notice unusual clicks, hums, static, or other noises on your telephone, maybe even when it's not in use. You may also notice changes in radio and TV reception.

3. Your home or business has been broken into, but nothing of value was taken.

4. Objects that could contain a hidden camera or listening device appear without explanation. These could include clocks, exit signs, smoke detectors, radios, telephones, and many other items. Listening devices can be as small as a dime - the possibilities are almost endless.

5. Unusual dust & debris - dust from sheet rock, bits of insulation, etc., can all be signs that eavesdropping equipment has recently been installed.

Be AWARE of your surroundings and take note when something has changed.

If you suspect that your home or office has been compromised, contact us immediately from a secure location. Do not use your phone or computer and do not discuss your concerns in your office, home, or vehicle.

Q: I am the president of a fairly large company with over 200 employees in a very competitive business. It seems that confidential/ proprietary information is constantly being leaked to our competitors. What can your firm do to help us?
A: A TSCM survey, which will include a thorough analysis of the company's telephone switch and deskset programming, one of your most vulnerable assets, will either resolve the problem or eliminate a major avenue of concern and allow you to then focus on and resolve other possible information security breaches.
