Final Word

Industrial Espionage

  • Industrial espionage rose 260% to 350% since the late 1980s.
  • One government study found 97% of computer break-ins were undetected.
  • Over 1.2 million computer penetrations were reported in 1992. (Internet World February 1995)
  • Doing the math, I arrived at: 2,340,000 break-ins (1,200,000 X 1.97)
Notes:

Look at that number! It's over 2 MILLION break-ins per year! Are you one of them? Can you tell? Most people suffer the results of a break-in and never know it. Their data is compromised, their processes may be trojaned and the company directors may be at legal risk for not taking reasonable precautions.
