The Types of Wiretaps We Detect
Not all intercepts work the same way, and each leaves a different signature. Understanding how a line can be compromised is the first step to knowing what a professional wiretap-detection sweep is actually looking for.
Series & Parallel Taps
Physical connections wired directly into a phone line — either inline (series) or bridged across it (parallel) — to draw off the audio without breaking the call.
Inductive Taps
Contactless intercepts that pick up the signal from the electromagnetic field around a wire, leaving no direct connection and no obvious physical trace.
VoIP & Softphone Interception
Capture of internet-based calls at the router, PBX, or software layer — where a single misconfiguration can expose every call on the system.
Mobile & Cellular Intercepts
Spyware on a handset or rogue cellular hardware that relays calls, texts, and data to a third party in real time.
Symptoms of a Tapped Line
A modern intercept is designed to stay invisible, but the equipment behind it can still betray itself. If more than one of the following sounds familiar, a professional wiretap-detection sweep can confirm or rule out an active tap.
Unusual Sounds on Calls
Clicking, static, hollow echo, or faint voices that appear only during calls can indicate a poorly isolated intercept on the line.
Line Activity When Idle
A phone that shows signs of use when no one is on it, or equipment that draws power when it shouldn't, can point to an attached device.
Information Leaking
Others know details discussed only over the phone — one of the clearest real-world signs that a call was intercepted.
Tampered Wiring or Boxes
Signs of interference at a junction box, demarcation point, or wiring closet, or unfamiliar hardware attached to your lines.
Wiretap Detection Across All Your Lines
A tap can sit anywhere a signal travels — copper, fiber, wireless, or software. Our certified specialists test every connection type your voice and data pass through, so an intercept can't hide in the one system you didn't check.
Landline & Analog
Full inspection of traditional phone wiring, handsets, and desk-phone connections from the jack to the demarcation point.
VoIP & PBX Systems
Analysis of internet-calling platforms and business phone systems for unauthorized call recording or forwarding.
Mobile & Cellular
Forensic checks of handsets for spyware and stalkerware, plus detection of hardware relaying cellular traffic.
Data & Network
Inspection of your network for rogue devices and data-capture points that intercept communications beyond voice.
The Largest Illegal Wiretapping Case in U.S. History
Wiretap detection is not theoretical for us. Our specialists uncovered more than 65,000 illegal intercepts in the Key Bank case — the largest documented illegal wiretapping case in U.S. history — with every recording ruled inadmissible in court and every defendant protected. When we test your lines, we bring the same evidence-grade rigor that has held up under legal scrutiny.
Wiretap Detection Questions
Can a wiretap really be detected if it's not making noise?
Yes. Modern intercepts are built to stay silent, so professional detection doesn't rely on audible clicks. We test the electrical characteristics of the line, scan for transmitters relaying audio, and physically inspect wiring and junction points to find taps that leave no sound at all.
Do you check VoIP and mobile, or only landlines?
All of them. Interception has moved well beyond copper wire, so we test landline, VoIP and PBX systems, mobile handsets, and your data network — anywhere your calls and communications actually travel.
Is the documentation usable if I take legal action?
Yes. We provide clear, evidence-ready findings suitable for legal or law-enforcement follow-up, documented with the same standard that has held up in major wiretapping cases.
How quickly can you respond to an urgent concern?
We offer 24/7 rapid response nationwide. If you believe your lines are actively tapped, call us and a specialist can advise on immediate next steps.
If someone is on your line, we'll find them.

What people are saying
Three decades of high-stakes cases — in the words of the people we protected.
Thanks, Michael, for discovering an illegal hook-switch bypass in our conference room — a bug that cost us billions. Even when the company couldn't be saved, it kept Lorenzo out of the airline industry for good.
Peros uncovered over 65,000 illegal intercepts. That evidence led to the case being thrown out — and earned praise from the U.S. Inspector General's Chief Investigator.
Michael Peros, our White Knight, saved us from malicious prosecution when we were wrongly charged with our child's murder. Exposing the illegal microphone hidden in our bedroom was key to prevailing — all charges dropped.
Michael saved me $3M in legal fees and protected 12 other defendants. He uncovered illegal wiretaps and a hidden “Brady Bug” in my office — what's considered the largest illegal wiretapping case in U.S. history.
Michael found a TK-400 Japanese audio bug hidden behind my desk. He saved my billion-dollar company — the greatest TSCM counter-surveillance engineer there is.
Thank you, Michael Peros, for saving my professional horse track from financial disaster by exposing 13 illegal wiretaps on the phones.
