The Telephone Modification
A European publishing company became suspicious of being bugged after discovering leaked financial information and details relating to a confidential launch and specialist publications.
Their initial investigations ruled out most common causes of information loss and QCC Interscan was asked to perform a TSCM (bug sweeping) inspection of areas where this confidential information had been discussed.
During the bug sweeping inspection the digital telephone system was tested using our TALAN testing equipment. Analogue audio was found to be present on spare cables from the telephone in three of the target locations and audio was present when the telephone units were on hook or off hook.
This meant that room audio was being passed constantly down a spare pair of wires out of the target location. The telephone system was a digital PABX type so no analogue audio should have been detected leaving the telephone in any situation.
QCC Interscan traced the spare cables and found that the structured cabling had been modified and the spares wires had been diverted to terminal blocks under the sub floor within the IT equipment room. This modification was used to connect suitable recorders to the spare pairs containing the room audio, proving electronic eavesdropping had been taking place.
By handling the operation covertly, QCC Interscan helped uncover suspected inside help with this spying operation. Any conversations within the three rooms with the modified telephone units would have been clearly recorded. QCC Interscan recorded all findings and presented a detailed technical report to the client for further investigation.
