[kictanet] FW: Legalizing Phone Tapping in Kenya?

[Gichuki John Chuksjonia]

All u can do is to be careful what u say on phone.

Like last year we just sat outside Hilton with bluetooth capture tools
on Backtrack and since most people use headsets when driving, the kind
of chatter we captured during that wardrive was hilarious.

So in short, its not just the government which can illegally do this,
its any one who has an understanding of Infosec.

Cheers,
