We also shift gears to discuss how everyday household items, particularly in our increasingly connected world, can be exploited for surveillance in close access operations. From smart light bulbs and USB power sockets to Wi-Fi routers and smart TVs, the possibilities for covert monitoring have expanded significantly with the rise of IoT devices.

As we delve into the operational tactics, from installation and data retrieval to maintaining plausible deniability, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the high-risk world of close access operations. We challenge you to think like a technical operative and consider how these concepts might apply to your own security posture, whether at work or in your personal life.
