Answer 1

In the modern world, this is one of the most common types of espionage. Its purpose is to collect information about competitors' trade secrets.

Economic spies collect information about the state of a particular company. First of all, they are interested in information that is not available to the broad masses of people. For such espionage, bribery of officials, the opening of safes, and hacking of the organization's database and its archive are used.

Such a crime (like other types of espionage) has a criminal intent, which is to transfer information to others.

Network espionage is produced by:

Corporations to control their employees;

Sites that collect cookies and thereby receive personal data from users;

Hackers who collect personal information for their own interest or to sell, as well as to access users' finances.
