ARE NETWORK WIRETAPPINGS POSSIBLE? (VIDEO)
November 4 2013
"Wiretapping in Armenia is not news, we all have heard about the
wiretapping of March 1, 2008, which were published by an unknown
person. Armenia has always had that opportunity, when there is a
court decision, mobile operators provide these recordings",- so
replied the information security expert Samvel Martirosyan to the
question of Aravot.am whether he is aware about wiretapping devices
sent from Russia to Armenia. He noted that there might be a word on
network wiretapping, for example, about wiretapping of Skype. Then,
he continued, "Skype has officially announced that it is cooperating
with the police in all countries, if there is a justified decision by
the court, it will provide the recording of wiretapping. Therefore,
it should be always kept in mind that at least the American services:
Facebook and Gmail are wiretapped by the U.S. government." Mr.
Martirosyan stated that "it is clear that if there is a cooperation
within the CSTO, there might be a cooperation in this field, too." To
our question whether he agrees that almost everything is wiretapped
in Armenia, Mr. Martirosyan responded the following, "If a person
thinks that he is doing something that is subject to wiretapping, he
should always take into account that he can be wiretapped, regardless
of where he is living: in Armenia or Mozambique."
