2024 Espionage Review: How China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Ethiopia Targeted U.S. Security
Christopher Burgess / Jan 1, 2025
A variety of adversaries brought espionage and intrigue to the United States in the year 2024, and we may safely assume such will continue to be the case. Once again, the primary nation states taking the adversarial role were China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. They were successful in penetrating national infrastructure, stealing intellectual property, and compromising individuals. The Department of Justice (DoJ) and other arms of government, to include the FBI, CISA, DHS, and the ODNI, as well as private enterprises, all contributed to compromising these covert activities. Some were brought to justice; others were neutralized and some continued to abscond…
Ethiopia.
If you didn’t have Ethiopia on your bingo card for 2024, you weren’t alone. In December 2024, Abraham Teklu Lemma, alias Tom or Thomas Ford, was indicted by a grand jury for delivering national defense information to a foreign government, Ethiopia. Lemma was a contractor whose work took him into a variety of government entities to include the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the Department of State (DoS), and the DoJ. He had a TOP SECRET clearance, worked within a SCIF, and did indeed have the authority to transfer information between unclassified systems and classified systems. He also retained a great deal of classified materials to which he had incidental and contrived access, delivering the information to the most senior ranks of the Ethiopian government to include the Deputy Prime Minister and members of the country’s military. His case is pending.
