Ex-employee undercut boss by bugging him

A 27-year-old man was able to beat his former boss to business deals
after allegedly installing a sophisticated listening program in the
shipowner's laptop computer, police said yesterday after arresting the suspect.

Officers were called in by the businessman after his former employee,
a Ukrainian national, set up a rival shipping company and seemed to
be one step ahead of him in closing deals.

After examining the unnamed entrepreneur's computer, officers
discovered that spy software had been installed in the laptop which
allegedly allowed the 27-year-old to automatically record any
conversations made via the Internet.

Police found that the software, which the suspect allegedly devised
on his own, also worked as a bug, recording voices even when the
computer was switched off.
