Welcome to The Spy Hunter newsletter!

In this week’s edition:

  • A North Korean citizen is arrested for cyber-espionage targeting Chinese military drone technology in China.

  • Former employees of South Korean SK hynix and Samsung are indicted for stealing core technologies and passing them to Chinese competitors.

An intense and dramatic scene showing a swarm of North Korean military drones flying over the city of Seoul. The drones are small to medium-sized, sleek with angular, stealth-like designs, painted in dull military green and gray camouflage. Below, Seoul's urban skyline is visible with modern skyscrapers, including the Lotte World Tower in the distance. The sky is overcast, giving a tense, ominous atmosphere, with subtle searchlights scanning the sky. People on the ground are looking up anxiously, some taking cover, while sirens are wailing in the background.
