Often referred to as industrial espionage or corporate spying, corporate espionage is a serious problem facing U.S. businesses today, resulting in hundreds of billions of dollars of annual losses. Although this is not a new crime, Internet surveillance and theft have greatly benefited from it. The main distinction between Economic Espionage and Corporate Espionage relates to the origin and loyalty of the offender. It's mostly foreign governments or their agents doing economic espionage. A competitor or agent of a competitor is responsible for Corporate Espionage or the theft of Trade Secrets.
When executed correctly, economic espionage is a covert operation. Therefore, a victim of economic espionage should not be aware that they have been picked off. The media, however, regularly reports stories about economic espionage. The reason for this is that successful attacks, which did not remain covert, are being confirmed more frequently. In this case, the increase is due to the increased number of successful attacks that did not remain hidden.
The consequences of economic espionage often go unnoticed until it is too late, which results in immense losses.
