Stealing of confidential or sensitive company information in combination with blackmailing is a profitable business. Foreign affiliates of internationally active companies abroad work under considerably more difficult environment than mother companies at home. There might be limited protection to be expected by local legal authorities abroad. Espionage might be regarded as minor breach of law, loyalty of local employees might be defined different etc.
