Here’s a non-partisan question for Mitt Romney, the corporate board of whatever stock you own or, for that matter, those flea-bitten Wall Street occupiers: Why aren’t American CEOs doing more to defend our companies against cyber thievery, from the Chinese and practically everyone else?
In case you missed it, Mike McConnell, Bill Lynn and Michael Chertoff wrote last week in The Wall Street Journal that “the Chinese government has a national policy of economic espionage in cyberspace. In fact, the Chinese are the world’s most active and persistent practitioners of cyber espionage today.” These gentlemen are, respectively, our former director of national intelligence, former deputy secretary of defense and former secretary of homeland security — and thus able to tell the rest of us just how bad the Chinese espionage threat really is.
