Industrial Espionage in Asia-Middle East-Europe - The galloping pace of new technology is making espionage, such as eavesdropping or theft, an ever more potential problem for companies today.
Mobile phones and the internet now provide a number of additional ways for people to get at a company's information.
This is helped by an ever more sophisticated and easily obtainable array of gadgets and tools with which to carry out this kind of dirty work.
For example, an electronic bug can be enclosed in an apparently normal mobile phone battery, creating a listening device that is forever powered and able to transmit the user's most private conversations.
And bugs, of course, can not only be placed in mobile phones; they can be found in a wide array of different places from pens to buttons.
