LARNACA: Cypriot police said Saturday they had seized an alleged “spy van” equipped with sophisticated surveillance equipment capable of hacking communications and questioned its Israeli owner.
Cyprus police chief Kypros Michaelides told private radio station Astra that the Israeli owner had given “some explanations”, but he would be questioned further, along with Cypriot nationals. It said the US$9 million state-of-the-art equipment in the van can monitor electronic devices within a 500-metre radius, hack any phone and listen in to conversations regardless of the level of encryption.
