Wiretaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bugs

'wiretaps' is the definition.
('bug' can be a synonym of 'wiretap')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bugs that I've seen before include "Secret listening devices" , "Errors in computer programs" , "Small crawling creatures or disease-germs" , "Insects or faults in a system or machine" , "Insects or defects in computer programs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
