The name of this espionage team was "plumbers".
Espionage is the acquiring of mystery or classified data without the authorization of the holder of the data. Spies enable organizations to reveal hidden data. Any individual or a participating gathering of spies, in the service of an administration, organization or autonomous activity, can confer espionage.
