In this age of technology, the means of communication have become very easy. But along with this, the dangers related to privacy have also increased. Cases of Phone Tapping have also increased in the digital age, so let's know what it is and how it is done. Phone tapping can record or monitor phone calls or messages from a person.

It is usually used by legal agencies to keep an eye on suspicious activities. If it is done without permission, it is illegal and violates the privacy of the person. Phone tapping is done in two ways - hardware-based and software-based tapping.

In hardware tapping, telephone lines are physically tapped. Whereas, spyware software is used in software-based tapping. Internet calls like WhatsApp, Skype are tapped through VoIP Tapping. Mobile calls can be tapped with IMSI Catchers. Phone tapping is the right only for government agencies to do with permission.
