Czech Intel Report Targets Russian, Chinese Spies
2020-11-11 09:33

The Czech Republic's intelligence agency said Tuesday Russian and Chinese spies posed an imminent threat to the EU member's security and other key interests last year.

All Russian intelligence services were active on Czech territory in 2019.

Spies with a diplomatic cover focused on promoting Russia's interests and the Kremlin's views, as well as boosting Russia's reputation in the Czech Republic.

Chinese spies used covers as diplomats, journalists or scientists and "Used the openness of the Czech environment to the offer of Chinese investment," BIS said.

BIS added that foreign spies also targeted Czech cyberspace with attacks aimed at the foreign ministry and diplomatic missions abroad, but also the infrastructure of Czech anti-virus software maker Avast.
