South Africa - Science and technology minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has filed a complaint with the State Security Agency (SSA) after cameras were found in her office, the Sunday Times reports. Police found multiple cameras which could record both video and sound, and could be accessed remotely.
The cameras were were reportedly placed within the minister’s boardroom, records room, and office.
According to the report, the cameras were discovered when senior managers confronted junior staff about discussions they had with the minister in her office. more
Note: The devices were only discovered when the eavesdroppers let on that they knew more than they should. Dumb on their part.
Dumber, however, is they were not found sooner with a routine Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) sweep, a standard practice at many organizations these days.
