Espionage is timeless and at the time of the Cold War, it was usually from a political purpose. However, after 1990 the motives for espionage became more economical. American research shows that 43% of all the big organizations had to deal with an average of six cases of corporate espionage in the last few years. This was mostly done by spies from China, Libië and the Sovjet-Unie. (http://www.mt.nl/1/1020/home/bedrijfsspionage-van-fake-sollicitatie-tot-brilcamera.html ). In 1994 Dutch countries suffered millions of NLG from corporate espionage. Although many people immediately think of ballpoints with camera’s and listening devices, technical innovations are only a small part of it. It appears to be that so-called ‘fake job applications’ are more common than what is usually thought. A new employee collects as much confidential information about the organization before he/she returns to the old employer. Own employees who start their own company, can be a great risk too.
