Domestic Violence – TSCM Bug Sweeping

Late last month, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declared that violence against women had become a “national crisis.” His comments came after thousands rallied in Australia’s big cities to demand action from the government in the face of alarming statistics regarding domestic violence.

Unfortunately, abusive and controlling partners often resort to using a variety of tech crime enabling attack methods on their victims. Partners and former partners who do so are breaking the law, however unless their activities are intercepted, and evidence preserved investigators are powerless.

A common theme in domestic violence cases result in technical surveillance attacks. It may be a device secretly placed in your home for example a hidden camera, listening device, GPS tracker fixed to your motor vehicle, spyware mounted on your mobile telephone device, or modified smart home appliances. Whatever the attack method, CSI – Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) Operatives located in Perth, Western Australia, can help by debugging the area – forming practical solutions and applying increased security layers to your circumstances.

A thorough bug sweep, and physical search of the area is carefully performed in order to create an environment free from electronic surveillance and tracking, which primarily target hardens the victim, residence, and or business.
