WASHINGTON — With ongoing discussions of foreign hacking and wiretapping come new concerns over an unusually high amount of suspicious cellphone activity in the nation’s capital. A telecom security company, ESD America, which has been hired by the U.S. government, says the suspicious activity likely indicates a foreign nation is monitoring the smartphones of American officials. The unspecified activity was noticed around cellphone towers in parts of the capital, including near the White House. A source at the company said the activity suggests someone — most likely a foreign nation — is monitoring specific individuals or their devices. The Department of Homeland Security confirms the company was hired in January as part of a 90-day pilot program, but did not address details of the suspicious activity, or who might be behind it. The issues were first reported in the Washington Free Beacon <http://freebeacon.com/national-security/hack-attack-cell-phone-data-dc/%20>and confirmed by CBS News <http://www.cbsnews.com/news/suspicious-cellular-activity-in-dc-suggests-monitoring-of-individuals-smartphones/> . ------------------------------ ------------------------------ [image: Avast logo] <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbGU1dm1pBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0ODk4NTE5MDY-> [image: Yahoo!
