An important read. A Joint statement by the heads of UK and U.S Security services highlights China as the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security.

Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI warned the audience – that the Chinese government was set on stealing your technology using a range of tools. He also said China deployed cyber espionage to cheat and steal on a massive scale, with a hacking programme larger than that of every other major country combined.

The head of MI5 Ken McCallum pointed to a series of examples linked to China. These included a British aviation expert who had received an approach online and had been offered an attractive employment opportunity. He travelled to China twice to be wined and dined before being asked for technical information on military aircraft by a company which was actually a front for Chinese intelligence officers.

Maybe its time for a rethink on our cyber strategy?
