EXTRACT: Yesterday, oil company Royal Dutch Shell’s computer system in Houston, Texas, was said to have been attacked by spies with links to China. And aero-engine company Rolls-Royce is also thought to have been a victim.
Analysts said the hacking into computers was likely to have been attempts to steal secrets that would give the Chinese authorities the upper hand in negotiations for contracts. Shell declined to comment and Rolls-Royce did not return calls.

British business was warned to raise its security level amid signs that the threats of terrorism and industrial espionage are increasing.
A major report warns that home-grown Islamist extremism “presents an unprecedented threat” to businesses, while at least two major UK companies have reportedly faced acts of espionage linked to the Chinese government.
Yesterday, a report from Lloyd’s of London insurance market and the International Institute of Strategic Studies said the risk of major economic damage from terrorism had intensified.
Lloyd’s chairman Lord Levene said: “No-one should be in any doubt that home-grown terrorism has the potential to disrupt business significantly. However, although most business leaders are increasingly worried about it, they have also told us that they currently understand very little about what home-grown terrorism risk means for their business.”
He added: “The business community urgently needs to close the gap between growing awareness of the risk and a lack of understanding of what it means in practice.”
The report came as warnings about the threat of Chinese industrial espionage reverberated around Britain’s boardrooms. At the weekend it was disclosed that the head of MI5, Jonathan Richards, had written to 300 chief executives and heads of security at major companies about attack from “Chinese state organisations”.
It followed similar warnings in America, France, and Germany, that Beijing was seeking to steal industrial secrets. China has strongly rejected the suggestions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
