Report: China doing less cyberspying

Chinese commercial cyberespionage has remained relatively stable since last year’s agreement to end the practice, a cybersecurity firm reported on Monday, but has dropped substantially compared to years past.

“We attribute the changes we have observed among China-based groups to factors including … military and political initiatives, the widespread exposure of Chinese cyberoperations and mounting pressure from the U.S. government,” said the report from FireEye, an international firm that defends Fortune 500 companies against state-backed hackers.
