“I have often wondered if you could hack into some of the key access points of these networks and capture IP phone traffic, much of it is in clear and not encrypted, you could basically listen in on phone conversations of just about anyone.....”
My understanding is the Intelligence Agencies can already do that.
I suspect it is the Chinese.
The various Intelligence Agencies to do work with the major Tier One Internet providers like ATT, Verizon, Level 3, etc....and do have taps into their major hubs and can capture anything they want......
But I’m talking about targeted intelligence gathering on a handful of companies for either terrorist reasons or some type of scam to make money.....Like I said, if you knew what the top money managers at Goldman-Sachs were talking about in real time, how valuable might that be...??
