The scale of Chinese espionage in the U.S. and in other Western nations is beginning to overwhelm governments, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, spy activities are happening on an “unprecedented scale,” which includes the Chinese government recruiting private companies, Chinese civilians, and security agencies to undermine its competitors and strengthen China’s economy.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has stated that in the month of September alone, a Chinese state-linked firm hacked approximately 260,000 devices connected to the internet – including cameras and routers located in the U.S., the U.K., France, Romania, and other nations.
