A Growing Problem..

Industrial espionage or corporate espionage is espionage conducted for commercial purposes instead of national security purposes.

The term is distinct from legal and ethical activities such as examining corporate publications, websites, patent filings, and the like to determine the activities of a corporation (this is normally referred to as competitive intelligence). Theoretically the difference between espionage and legal information gathering is clear. In practice, it is quite difficult to sometimes tell the difference between legal and illegal methods. Especially if one starts to consider the ethical side of information gathering, the border becomes even more blurred and elusive of definition.

Industrial espionage describes activities such as theft of trade secrets, bribery, blackmail, and technological surveillance. As well as spying on commercial organizations, governments can also be targets of commercial espionage—for example, to determine the terms of a tender for a government contract so that another tenderer can underbid.

Industrial espionage is most commonly associated with technology-heavy industries, particularly the computer and automobile sectors.

Espionage takes place in many forms. In short, the purpose of espionage is to gather knowledge about (an) organization(s). A spy may be hired, or may work for oneself.

FBI Surveillance Video - Andre J. Hornsby
Federal prosecutors in the corruption trial of former Prince George's County schools chief Andre J. Hornsby today released video segments of Mr. Hornsby accepting cash inside a Comfort Inn Hotel room in Bowie. In a clip key to the prosecution's case, Cynthia Joffrion, an education-consulting executive and Hornsby colleague who became an FBI informant, is heard saying: "Okay, if I give you 1,000 now that means I only owe you 144,000?" She then places the money on the table, and Mr. Hornsby puts the money in his shirt pocket

The Rise of the Chinese Surveillance State
CBC News Today host Nancy Wilson interviews Jesse Hirsh regarding new surveillance technology being deployed in Shenzen, China. "At least 20,000 police surveillance cameras are being installed along streets here in southern China and will soon be guided by sophisticated computer software from an American-financed company to recognize automatically the faces of police suspects and detect unusual activity."

Surveillance Privacy Protection
Society's need for greater surveillance at home and work is increasing, but without compromising the right to privacy. Computer scientist Samson Cheung of the University of Kentucky creates programs that can manipulate video surveillance all the way down to the pixel level. For example, an individual in a video can be erased, with that image then embedded into a secure watermark. If the complete video is needed for legal purposes, the stream can be recreated.
