Media Capture via External Device

The subject uses an external recording device, such as a personal mobile phone, tablet, wearable camera, or dedicated camera, to capture photographs, video, or audio of sensitive information displayed or stored within the organization’s environment.

 

This method is commonly used to collect information from computer screens, whiteboards, printed documents, internal dashboards, source code repositories, financial records, or physical access areas. The subject may position the device discreetly to photograph multiple screens, record walkthroughs of restricted areas, or document proprietary material during meetings or presentations.
