MI5 Cites China as Digital Espionage Threat
(2 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
MI5 is warning British companies that Chinese organisations might be spying on them and collecting commercially sensitive data. Professionals in the computer security world have stated there is growing evidence of attacks from other countries, particularly China. Zhao Shangse, an official from the Chinese embassy in London, has denied the allegations.
However, the Chinese are also facing attacks themselves, and many believe that their systems are being exploited to perform the attacks by other countries. Regardless of what country the attackers are from, there’s definitely a growth in electronic crime, and sadly the good guys are a little behind in the game.
