How are people spied?

When they think about you too much, it’s unpleasant. People most often try to make a good impression and not let outsiders into their private lives. However, even more unpleasant is the invasion of personal life and surveillance of a person. We have collected the most relevant ways to track you, as well as ways to deal with such troubles.

A bit of history

By tradition, we take the basis of the question. Spies, surveillance, and valuable information have always existed. If you think that these are inventions of directors and state practice, then you are mistaken. Already now, in the 21st century, at quite affordable prices you can buy devices for recording audio, video and other things.

Once the special services used their high technologies to find out the secrets of other similar services, and when the world moved on horses and carriages, then interested persons sent their “birds” in order to learn secrets. In general, everything depended on the scale - the surveillance was in the range of the country, the world, or someone else's boudoir. Over time, the methods changed, the equipment improved. Nowadays, tracking a person by phone is especially popular. Conveniently, almost everyone has it, always with them and it stores a lot of information, often compromising.

"Everything is collective farm, everything is mine ..."

So say people, bearing in mind the lack of someone's sense of tact and personal space. We are all different and have different perceptions of the boundaries of our own and that of others. Most seek to protect society from the details of their lives, their intimate thoughts, feelings, and more. It's not just about relationships with a partner, but even about an elementary choice of underwear. An intimate question, agree? And, if one person does not have complexes and embarrassments, others can really worry about their little things.

Needless to say, it’s often just the free-thinking people who just don’t mind bothering to get into a wife’s phone without asking for a friend or to hire a spy to quench their jealousy. The issue is sensitive, but this can and should be discussed. In this case, honesty will be the best option, but where are the guarantees that you will be treated fairly? Suppose you began to suspect that someone is spying on you. Someone knows your personal conversations, correspondence and location. How he does it? A bug, personally or is it practiced tracking a person through the phone?

How can they follow you? Popular ways

If you have a feeling that you are being watched, then do not dismiss this option. Such systems, programs and devices have long migrated from fiction to cinema, and from there straight to the black market. Or white. It’s now possible to acquire tracking equipment quite legally, under the pretext of monitoring your home or child. Time is not calm, and children are our everything. Thus, manufacturers and sellers immediately assure that they say we sell only for good deeds, and if you want to catch a husband's mistress, then we are not to blame.

Indeed, this is reality, so do not be surprised. Better check out the list of the most basic espionage options.

Popular Tracking Tools

So, this list includes:

• Bugs for tracking a person. Classics of the genre, as they say. There are audio, video or with JPS or with a combination of these functions. The main difference is the transmission of information in real time. They do not write to a USB flash drive or disc. The sizes are different, as is the coverage area. Some can work at a distance of several hundred kilometers.
• Cameras, voice recorders, satellite tracking systems. Also old and famous methods. All this can be in your apartment, car, things, as well as on friends with whom you meet in a particular format.
• Radio bugs. They remind you of a walkie-talkie and work well in a city full of signals and connections. If a suspicious person regularly whispers something in a strange device and looks at you, then there is a possibility that he has just such an apparatus.
• Telephone. In this case, it is more than one of the options, because it contains all of the above, as well as geolocation. In addition, the technical capabilities of smartphones are growing by leaps and bounds, many companies a priori create a function to detect the phone itself and specify the location.
• Special programs and applications. This is also one of the options, it can only be built into any equipment like a computer, tablet, phone or modern multifunctional clock.
  

And why are they following me?

The answer is simple and comes down to just four factors:

1. Find a person. Track current geolocation.
2. To hear a person. Find out what he is saying, listening, discussing.
3. To see a person. Accordingly, monitoring his actions.
4. Get information from a person. His passwords, cards, accounts, addresses.

Themselves are good

As numerous experiments and studies on personal safety have shown, it is rare that people really attach importance to this or can protect themselves effectively. If you put the same password on all accounts and cards, did not understand the essence of multi-level identification, then you risk becoming the prey of scammers or enemies. Not to mention just a friend who wants to, for personal reasons, learn something about your private life.

Many consider it to be a vital factor to fill in all the fields "About Me", "Cell Phone", "Address", and other personal data. Refrain from details if you are not a public person and are not sure of security, as this may turn against you.

Do not think that this doesn’t concern you personally, or justify yourself with the fact that “I’m not very good with equipment” or “I have a very cool phone.” It doesn’t matter what you use, IOS or Android phone, tracking a person is also possible from the golden Vertu. Just in this case, you will not notice how you are being watched.

Residents of many countries have a calm position at the expense of the state in this matter, they say, they are already watching me. We do not know for sure, but if so, then unknown services may collect information for reasons of national security. They will not post your personal photos on the Web and write unpleasant comments. But your jealous ex-half easily. Do not underestimate people, especially if you see disturbing calls.

How to stop the villains?

Briefly and abstractly we will list the main steps for the security of your privacy. It all depends on the specific situation and should be dealt with separately, but there are also preventive measures that will be useful:

1. Let's start with the passport. You can also be monitored through ticket booking sites. Post your data only in official applications and pages, such as Russian Railways, Aeroflot and more. Call the hotline and find out all about the company. A cheap ticket can sell your passport details, and you won’t see a vacation either.
2. Social networks. Create a special separate mail for her, do not hang everything on one e-mail. If you attach a page on the network to the phone, then your operator’s personal account must also be protected.
3. Create passwords and write them in a safe place. In no case do not store flogged notes. It’s easy to steal them. Ideally, train your memory and learn account data.
4. Feel free to contact a specialist. Does the phone have suspicious sounds? It lights up on its own, and on the screen appeared unknown to you icons? This is an occasion to go to the master.
5. Carefully examine your smartphone. Not everyone needs geolocation, call forwarding, and the like. If you have applications for tracking a person on your phone, find out why they are needed and try to get rid of them.
6. If you suspect a bug, inspect the room with an addiction. It will not be superfluous to call specialists. Cameras often give themselves out as a reflection of the lens. So shine on the floor jewelry that girls lose. Wireless devices have radiation that is visible on the devices.
7. If you are confused by a person on the street, in a car, then try changing your destination or go the other way. Avoid uninhabited places. Create a custom situation and watch the reaction.
8. Do not engage in substantial amateur activity if you are directly threatened or you know that your data and personal life are being stolen. You have a right to it. Contact the authorities.
   

Law and order

The criminal code of the Russian Federation, which contains a wonderful article 137 on violation of privacy, protects all of us from spies and invasion of privacy. It says:

The unlawful collection or dissemination of information about the private life of a person constituting his personal or family secret without his consent or the dissemination of this information in a public speech, a publicly displayed work or in the media is punishable.

Next is the specifics of the situations and, accordingly, the article for surveillance of a person provides for preventive measures in the form of fines, community service and even imprisonment.
