According to NBC News, a secret National Security Agency (NSA) map shows the location of “Victims of Chinese Cyber Espionage" that were launched by China against the U.S.
Red dots on the map show successful attempts to steal data from American critical infrastructure from public and private sector firms. Some of the data stolen includes pharmaceutical product formulas, hybrid car specifications, military intelligence and more.
Hubs such as the Northern Corridor and Silicon Valley were among the most hacked. The map shows large clusters covering major metropolitan areas and industrial hubs.
NBC's sources said the map was part of a briefing in February 2014 that was prepared by the NSA. The briefing noted that Google, Lockheed Martin and air traffic control systems were heavily targeted by the Chinese.
