Brazen Industrial Espionage

I did Infustrial Security for 10 years and only have a couple of cases that compare to the one described in the Wall Street Journal today.  The Brazenness of the Chinese “ who have stopped doing industrial thefts on the US” to hear them talk.  This story indicates they have not stopped.  Big surprise to anyone who follows their tactics.

A man walked into the facility and tried to gain access to a computer system.  He had computers, storage devices, a USB drive, and other paraphernalia that indicated he was up to no good.  I did see a similar case many years ago, where a Russian entered a facility by saying he “wanted to check his email” and needed a network connection to do it.  They let him in too.  It is one thing to be friendly, and quite another to be foolish.
