Likely Targets

Virtually any organisation has information that is confidential and if passed to interested third parties could cause financial loss and damage or may compromise Company / National security. The Company boardroom, the telephone, the car radio telephone, the telex, facsimile machine, computer, typewriter and dictation machines are examples of sources of confidential information and are targets for the eavesdropper.

Eavesdropping need not be confined to the Company office. Directors and other key personnel can be targets at home.

Examples of information useful to the eavesdropper include:

Product and Service Pricing
Expansion/Take-over Plans
Competitive Strategies
Sales and Promotion Plans
Cost Data
Design, Research and Development
