  "account": "Industriespionage is on the rise, with foreign intelligence services increasingly involved. In Switzerland, many companies, especially small ones, are overwhelmed and lack awareness of the threat, according to the country's intelligence service, the Nachrichtendienst des Bundes (NDB). The NDB's June report states that the threat of foreign espionage is very high, particularly from state intelligence services, with China being a major concern. A survey by the German association Bitkom found that two-thirds of German companies reported being targeted by industrial espionage, data theft, or sabotage in the past year, with most attacks coming from China.",
