How the Cincinnati FBI Cracked the Chinese Spy Case at GE Aviation

The GE Aviation engineer was deeply involved in the design and analysis of new commercial jet engines, a technology at the top of the shopping lists of Chinese intelligence operatives.

It took the spies only a few months to get him to accept their offer: A $3,500 fee paid in U.S. currency, and free travel, lodging and meals for a one-hour presentation in China. more

GE Aviation takes their information security seriously. Applause. Most companies aren't doing all they can. Too few employ Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) / counterespionage consultants, for example. The result... They don't know what they are missing, in more ways than one.
