## Summary

Heron Intelligence CEO Nate Singer says he has seen at least three reports of executives in semiconductor companies being targeted in similar cases, and suspects many more have gone unreported. He says the problem is an open secret in the industry, with senior people knowing of it and effectively condoning it. The article ties the threat to decades of Chinese economic espionage and recent trade secret prosecutions in semiconductors.
