Have you ever felt like you are being watched? Even the tiniest inkling could indicate that your safety and privacy have been compromised. Unfortunately, some businesses discover they have been bugged with spy or hacking devices, leaving their company’s confidential information vulnerable. As such, it is essential to act quickly as a means of loss prevention. Please continue reading to learn about bug sweeping and why you should consider hiring Connecticut Corporate & Commercial Debugging Services to regain your privacy.

What Are the Different Types of Bugs?

Unfortunately, with today’s technological advancements, various types of bugs can be used for eavesdropping or surveillance. Often, bugs are disguised as everyday objects. Bugs can be nearly impossible to detect if they are not being searched for, and even then, they are generally placed in very strategic places, making them difficult to uncover. Even the most secure devices like iPhones can be bugged. As such, if you suspect that you or your business has been bugged, it’s imperative to take the necessary steps to restore your privacy.

Bug sweeping, also known as a Technical Surveillance Countermeasure (TSCM) sweep, is a service that detects and removes hidden devices, or “bugs,” from a location. Debugging is intended to protect individuals and businesses from eavesdropping and to identify potential security breaches. The following include but are not limited to some of the most common types of bugs:

  • Hidden surveillance cameras: These types of cameras are designed to be hidden and can be difficult to spot, with the lens being as small as a smartphone’s. They can be remotely accessed, meaning individuals can watch the footage in real-time.
  • Listening devices (audio bugs): These are not as useful these days as hidden surveillance cameras can typically record any sounds they pick up while also recording footage. However, they are way less intrusive compared to cameras as they capture way less data. You should engage in active listening for suspicious sounds or activities to detect hidden bugs used for eavesdropping.
  • GPS tracking devices: Vehicle trackers are much more common than people think. This hidden device can track a person’s location remotely.
