In news that's probably not going to help the perception of Chinese businesses around the world, today it was reported that hackers may be contracting with Chinese spy agencies while also carrying out their own projects behind shadowy front companies, making millions stealing COVID data and trade secrets.
The hackers work "sometimes for personal financial gain and other times on behalf of the Ministry of State Security, China’s civilian intelligence agency. In some cases, the men allegedly probed the networks of U.S. firms working on a coronavirus vaccine. U.S. prosecutors have accused the men of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in trade secrets and other data."
