Listening devices discovered in the apartment of
the former chief executive of the Deutsche Börse

A complex system of listening devices has been
discovered in the Frankfurt apartment belonging
to Werner Seifert, former chief executive of the Deutsche Börse.

Seifert, who launched his bid for the London
Stock Exchange in 2004, moved to Ireland a few
months ago. In the meantime, another banker from
a rival firm, moved into the apartment and was
surprised to discover the bugs hidden in the
ceilings and walls - even in the bathrooms.

An investigation is under way to find out who
planted the devices, what they heard and whether they may have profited.

Known as "sweeping" TSCM (Technical Surveillance
Counter Measures) involves the detailed checking
of rooms, offices, residences and vehicles to
ensure that no covert listening, secret camera or
telephone bugging devices have been deployed.

'Sweeping' has now become a highly sophisticated
process and has been adopted by major companies,
international organisations, government
departments, prominent individuals and VIPs and
those with an interest in keeping their
intellectual property and private lives secure. TSCM is vital for protection.

There are a number of methods available to
counter the illegal bugging, and interception, of
private and corporate telephone calls utilising
high security encryption. Whiterock 's
Secure-Comm for instance offers complete
protection to clients who require assurance that
their mobile, landline and fax transmissions
remain secure, private and confidential.
