Eavesdropping in European Union offices

March 24, 2003 - Privacy News

Bugs have been discovered in the Brussels European Union (EU) offices of Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Austria. The devices were discovered in a routine sweep in late February, but may have been installed as long ago as 1995. No word is available on who may have installed the bugs, described as a "very sophisticated" system beyond the capability of most intelligence services.
