Are there any bugs that masquerade as normal devices such as phones in a time-frequency sense, such that they blend in the environment as phones. Polymorphic bugs? Bugs that change their signature.
One more question: are there any bugs that shut down if there is no chatter in the spectrum... Say, if it's a noisy environment (frequency wise) with many phones and devices, the bug blends in and transmits. If it gets quiet, such as when phones are being turned off or distant, then there's something fishy and the bug suspends its operation?
They aren't usually off-the-shelf. They're custom, and can be as smart as the builder wants to make them. (working within constraints like size and power supply)
ah. The only documented instances of bugs I know of are in the spy museum in DC, which btw is a fantastic place to visit. The rest, AFAIK, are held close to the vest. I bet there's an amazing museum somewhere inside of the CIA though.

I didn't mean off-the-shelf necessarily. I should have said "are there any documented instances" or something to that effect.
