May 2012: the FBI launched a media campaign that included bus shelters, billboards, print ads, TV interviews and a website to target corporate espionage.

They want to educate individuals and corporations on identifying vulnerabilities and how to take defensive measures against employees and outsiders from stealing trade secrets.

The FBI underscores the value of hiring private companies to help stop economic espionage.

Further information is available on the FBI website.
