Hunter Becomes the Hunted: CIA Says 30 Countries Can Remotely Track Its Agents
CIA science & technology deputy director Dawn Meyerriecks says the agency faces a number of problems related to closed-circuit cameras, social media, smartphones and other wireless technology which have made it possible for its agents to get tracked by adversaries from behind a computer screen.
Speaking at the GEOINT2018 intelligence conference in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, Meyerriecks said that the CCTV and wireless infrastructure in about 30 countries around the world has now reached a level where counterintelligence services no longer need to physically track CIA assets to get a bead on their location.
The CIA officer mentioned Singapore as one example, but did not elaborate which other countries which have this capability.
