Secret taping in Valeo boardroom by former Chief Exec

Accusations and denials are flying regarding the 'secret' recording of boardroom meetings at major French car parts manufacturer Valeo.

Thierry Morin, the former chairman and chief exec does not deny the recording system but claims it was "unthinkable that no one else was aware". 

French Radio station RTL says that digital recording devices connected to the boardrooms conferencing system automatically activated when the mics switched on. The memory cards were then covertly removed after the meeting. Sounds a lot like a bugging device to us.

Conferencing equipment is a major vulnerability to your business privacy. It doesn't take much imagination to understand that several high-sensitivity microphones connected to a phone line (in other words a conference phone) can easily be manipulated to record/broadcast all of your meetings. Look out for the warning signs and contact FaberBrent to find out how to mitigate this risk.
