When it comes to spying its origin commonly takes place at the military and security organizations. From there its products spread to others by either smuggled or any other illegal means. To start with Echelon is a spying network and it alarms people in all fields like industrial, military, or individual. It can intercept (capture) up to 3 billion communications everyday. Also it can spy on calls, faxes, e-mails, downloads and communication through microwave, cellular, and satellite.
As stated earlier this system was used by the Intelligence agencies in US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Originally developed for military surveillance, it is now believed to be used for spying on organizations, businesses and even individuals. It operates via ground-based radio antennae and satellites to spy on satellite transmissions. It is also capable of live tapping of cables. The internet communication is also intercepted using ‘sniffer’ devices. Powerful computers called Dictionary are used to extract useful data from the information obtained by tapping or intercepting.
