Stealing and selling confidential and sensitive data for publishing journals by university scholars! The Ministry of National Security discloses details of the spy case

On May 11, according to the official account of the “Ministry of National Security”, in recent years, some overseas institutions and individuals, in order to grab benefits, have carried out information theft activities in important areas such as China’s economy, people’s livelihood, science and technology, which has seriously endangered China’s national security. At the same time, some domestic personnel have weak awareness of the rule of law and national security. In order to achieve personal goals, they illegally transmit relevant data overseas, and the related risks and hidden dangers cannot be ignored. Li, a scholar from a domestic university, took the initiative to contact a non-governmental organization overseas, using internal data as a bargaining chip, with the intention of obtaining publishing opportunities in well-known foreign journals and enhancing his academic reputation. The national security organs promptly discovered and took measures to eliminate risks and hidden dangers, effectively safeguarding the security of national secrets.
