Wiretapping
Main post
Wiretapping is the process of secretly monitoring telephone calls, cellular calls, fax or Internet-based communications. However, it is a very controversial topic because wiretapping is not considered as unethical due to the privacy rights of an individual. Wiretapping was a very old concept which was usually used by police in the early twentieth century to monitor telephone calls and telegraph. However, it's not an ethical act whether government agencies are doing this or anyone else. It will be totally unfair to monitor communications of a private citizen without revealing them. There are also wiretapping tools which are being used to monitor the traffic of the network (Diffie & Landau, 2009).
There are certain ways which are being used for spying on what others do. Many people think that their phone lines are safe but actually, they are not safe and anyone can listen to our phone calls. It is important to understand the basics of telephones before knowing how wiretapping works completely. One of the best ways to monitor telephone calls is to fit an in-line tap with a recording output to listen to the voice calls. There are also call recording software which allows to record calls manually or automatically by detecting sound on the VOX.
