Disclosure of military secrets becoming bigger risk

There is an increasing risk of the online disclosure of State secrets, experts said, after a man surnamed Li was convicted of releasing military secrets through the Internet.

Li was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing military secrets in Guangdong province, the Guangdong provincial department of State security confirmed on Monday.

According to a statement by the department, a foreign spy nicknamed "Brother Fei", contacted Li via an instant messaging tool on May 2011. A month later, Li began helping Brother Fei procure military secrets.
