The Challenge
A petrochemical giant in Jamnagar suspected that refined product pricing strategy and export schedules were being leaked to international traders.
The client needed a government-grade espionage detection service to secure high-level executive boardroom discussions.
The Problem
Refinery environments generate massive radio noise from industrial sensors, walkie-talkies, and SCADA systems, making it difficult to isolate covert transmitters.
- Audio transmitter detection for long-range LoRa and GSM devices.
- Threats for national and corporate energy interests.
- Need for TSCM equipment capable of filtering extreme industrial interference.
The Action
Wahid Shaikh led a 48-hour Energy Shield operation to establish a quiet spectrum and compare day-time versus night-time emissions.
- High-speed spectrum analysis using OSCOR Blue.
- Harmonic analysis for hidden semiconductor signatures in metal-heavy spaces.
- Telephone and line analysis using TALAN 3.0 across copper and fiber infrastructure.
The Findings
The team found a laser microphone reflector disguised as a tiny patch on executive dining hall window glass and a mains-powered GSM bug hidden in a wall power distribution box.
The GSM device stored a full day of audio and transmitted it in a single high-speed burst at 2:00 AM.
The Solution
- Installed window vibration jammers to defeat laser microphone attacks.
- Delivered secure encrypted VOIP solutions for board communications.
- Implemented 24/7 RF monitoring in the executive wing.
Outcome
The leak was stopped and the client regained control over sensitive pricing strategy, strengthening Indiebim’s standing in critical infrastructure TSCM.
