Communication interception refers to the unauthorized monitoring or capturing of messages and data as they are transmitted over communication channels. This can include various forms of communication, such as phone calls, emails, and text messages. Interception can be carried out by individuals, organizations, or government entities, often for purposes like surveillance or intelligence gathering. The methods of communication interception can vary widely, ranging from technical means like wiretapping and packet sniffing to social engineering tactics that trick individuals into revealing sensitive information. While interception can be used for legitimate purposes, such as law enforcement, it raises significant concerns about privacy and the potential for abuse.
