The issue related to secret video leaks have been so common in contemporary times that people wonder how it is actually happening? who is behind this?
Intelligence Agencies are accused of recording secret videos and personal information of people.
It has been examined that prior to launching a targeted attack related to secret videos, the aim is to do reconnaissance by utilizing the power of openly accessible information gathered through various ways of intelligence gathering.
The Internet, traditional mass media like magazines and newspapers, publications like journals and conference proceedings, business documents, and exposed networks are the most often used sources of intelligence.
The majority of people publish their content online. In this way, the search engines like Google and Bing easily locate them.
Through extensive Internet research, the intelligence agencies look for and gather data of the targets.
The power of search engines and specially created tools is harnessed during the information gathering process.
The agencies can easily characterize a target’s tastes, routines, and social culture with the aid of the information they have acquired.
The presence of internet connection is enough for intelligence gathering.
However, other methods include the watchdogs which are already present in the crowds. They never do suspicious activities to grab the attention of the people.
They roam around common people and keep a check on the ones who are the actual target.
The notion of secret video recording have become common in the contemporary times as through the means of social media, one can easily gather hidden secret information.
In context to Pakistan where the video and audio leaks scandal is increasing day by day.
Ashar Azeem Ex Civil Servant mentioned in his YouTube video related to how Intelligence Agencies record videos.
According to him “Intelligence Agencies most of the time book rooms and houses on rent and hold parties, in which most prominent people are invited. Usually women are also invited on the parties and are offered other luxuries as well including alcohol, and dances. Moreover, prominent ones are also urged to spend personal time in parties. At that moment some private things are recorded which are further used by intelligence agencies for blackmailing”.
Some people claim that the nation’s potent military is responsible for the “audio leaks” and video leaks issue.
Former lawmaker and opponent of the Pakistani military Bushra Gohar claims that politicians’ phones had previously been bugged.
She said that secret recordings are used by intelligence agencies to blackmail politicians and damage civilian administrations, saying, “I highlighted the problem of unlawful phone tapping of politicians in parliament.”
“The fact that even the PM’s office is unsafe for any type of security meeting raises severe concerns. Although the audio content is being discussed in public, no one is raising the issue of whether these recordings are legal,” she said.
The practice of audio leaks as well as video leaks according to analyst Khan, might be harmful to Pakistan’s democracy since it would “provide more space for Islamist groups.”
