12 September 2023 at 17:01 PST on the espionage charge: There does not need to be a state behind it PST believes there must not be a state actor behind it, after a 25-year-old man was jailed on Sunday for eavesdropping in, among other things, the Government Quarter. The security service informs news. – We must have several hypotheses open in such cases. In recent years, for example when it comes to mobile telephony and Wi-Fi, we have seen that criminal actors and private security companies also have the capacity for signals intelligence, and can carry out both wiretapping and other forms of electronic operations, says section leader Atle Tangen in PST to news. The man is charged with having engaged in so-called signal detection, or eavesdropping. It is about capturing electronic signals, and is usually associated with foreign intelligence activities, says Tangen.
