Recently Chinese state sponsored hackers managed to penetrate the computer networks of Rolls Royce and Royal Dutch Shell in the UK (See article:  Secrets of Shell and Rolls-Royce come under attack from China’s spies).   

The seriousness of the Rolls Royce and Royal Dutch Shell incidents and the increased level of state sponsored hacker attacks have prompted MI5, the United Kingdom's counter-intelligence and security service, to warn other companies to be vigilant against this type of industrial espionage.

State sponsored cyber espionage is a serious threat to the national security of all nations.
