The United Kingdom"s Ministry of Defence (MoD) has implemented anti-eavesdropping stickers in its electric vehicle (EV) fleet to prevent staff from discussing sensitive information. This measure comes amid concerns regarding potential spying activities, particularly from Chinese entities.

The MoD has leased hundreds of electric vehicles as part of its initiative to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve net-zero targets. The installation of these stickers is aimed at safeguarding classified discussions while personnel are using these vehicles.

This development aligns with the MoD"s broader environmental goals, as previously reported, and reflects ongoing efforts to enhance security in the face of rising concerns about espionage.
