Corporate Espionage 101
Information can make the difference between success and failure or profit and loss in the business world. If a trade secret is stolen, then the competitive playing field is leveled or worse, tipped in favor of the competitor. To complicate the problem even more, trade secrets are not only being sought after by a company's competitors, but from foreign nations as well. They are hoping to use stolen corporate information to increase that nation's competitive edge in the global marketplace.
