Chinese hackers have stolen incredible amounts of data from VW-Group between 2010 and 2015. Most of the data is about the development of gasoline/petrol engines, transmission systems, electrical and hydrogen propulsion systems.
The hackers were very professional, working only during office hours and use programs and tactics often used by the chinese intelligence agencies.
This is certainly the main reason why the chinese car industry can develop so quickly, because the chinese not only spy on VW.
De hackers, vermoedelijk uit China, waren op zoek naar informatie over de ontwikkeling van benzinemotoren en versnellingsbakken. Ook zochten ze naar gegevens over de ontwikkeling van schonere auto's.
