A '''nanobug''' is a kind of [[nanotechnology]] employed by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for surveillance purposes. Nanobugs are tiny pieces of technology that can be used to intercept communications; a nanobug may be placed inside the microphone of a given communication's device and then used to eavesdrop on conversations. Nanobugs only activate when the host device radiates on its frequency, allowing the nanobug's transmissions to be camouflaged as random interference inherent with all radio communications. The technology is so effective, even the [[Forerunner]] {{Class| | A '''nanobug''' is a kind of [[nanotechnology]] employed by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for surveillance purposes.
