The Chinese Government has hacked into the computers at every major American company, according to the nation’s former spy director.
Mike McConnell, who served as director of national intelligence under President George W. Bush, said in a speech at the University of Missouri that “the Chinese have penetrated every major corporation of any consequence in the United States and taken information”.
He said the undetected malware lets Chinese spies extract information whenever they want and listed victims he had come across during his investigations as: U.S. Congress, Department of Defense, State Department (which is currently dealing with Russian hackers) and major corporations.
McConnell listed what the Chinese are stealing: “planning information for advanced concepts, windmills, automobiles, airplanes, space ships, manufacturing design, software.”
