Martin Jordan, principal advisor of IT advisory services at KPMG, told silicon.com, that MI5 - through its branch the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure - has been monitoring activity emanating from China and it has noticed an upsurge in electronic espionage attempts made or launched against a lot of UK companies.
More than 1,000 letters were subsequently sent by the director general of MI5 to the heads of UK business yesterday, according to Jordan, warning them spies are targeting financial information relating to deals which may occur and involve Chinese companies.
