In the old ages, spies could enter one’s residence, organizations or companies and collect valuable data information such as personal sensitive data, trade secrets or transaction records. Nowadays, the open architecture of the Internet has generated an environment in which it is much easier, quicker and wider to collect data than it used to be as a variety of sensitive information can be captured on the Internet without personal presence in the location where the data is situated.
