Chinese theft of trade secrets on the rise, the US Justice Department warns

hey guys,

1. I found this article interesting, Is it safe to say that the term “war” is being redefined to cyber warfare rather the REAL wars?

Further more, Could the greatest danger today be seen in terms of “information security” because stealing trade secrets may give financial/economical advantage to the other country and hence increase its military might. Could this aspect of cyber crime play a pivotal role to a country’s rise in dominance?

 

…“We expect other nations will want to become self-sufficient in critical technologies. That’s what we’d expect of a responsible government,” he said. “The issue isn’t that China has set out to do that. It’s that part of their industrial policy, part of the way they try to accomplish that, is state-sponsored theft or creating an environment that rewards or turns a blind eye to it.”
