The U.S. counterintelligence head says the list of threats is long and getting longer
==========
Mike Casey, the head of American counterintelligence, states that the scale of foreign spying operations and economic espionage against the United States is impressive and terrifying. The list of threats is long and getting longer, with China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea being the usual suspects. However, private sector entities and cybercriminals are also involved. China stands out for the ambition and scale of its espionage efforts, aiming to supplant the United States in key technology and establish an international regulatory scheme. Russia focuses more on government and military secrets. Smaller nations like Cuba cannot be overlooked, as demonstrated by the recent arrest of a former U.S. ambassador charged with spying for Cuba. Casey emphasizes the importance of counterintelligence and the need to remain vigilant.
