Ryan Lucas, NPR; People Are Looking At Your LinkedIn Profile. They Might Be Chinese Spies
"Demers took over leadership of the National Security Division in
February 2018 after being confirmed by the Senate. Since taking the
helm, he has spent a considerable amount of time on China and what he
calls its prolific espionage efforts against the United States.
They're
vast in scale, he said, and they span the spectrum from traditional
espionage targeting government secrets to economic espionage going after
intellectual property and American trade secrets...
It's a play that has also been used to target folks in the business
world and academia, where China is hungry for cutting-edge technology
and trade secrets. For years, the Chinese intelligence services have
hacked into U.S. companies and made off with intellectual property.
Now, U.S. officials say China's spies are increasingly turning to what
is known as "nontraditional collectors" — students, researchers and
business insiders — to scoop up secrets."
