Information has leaked that UK’s defense Service, plus called MI5, sent more than 1,000 letters yesterday to the CEOs of UK businesses informing them that “it has noticed an upsurge in ELECTRONIC ESPIONAGE attempts made or launched against a lot of UK companies.” Martin Jordan, principal advisor of IT advisory services

at KPMG, told a reporter that Chinese spies are “targeting financial knowledge relating to deals which may occur and involve Chinese companies…. [the spies] are trying to find out the financial limits of such deals to subsequently push UK companies to pay out the maximum or receive the minimum amount of money within such deals.”
