Reporter, Bloomberg News
Jordan Robertson is a reporter with Bloomberg News. He has covered cybersecurity for nearly two decades, from San Francisco, Washington D.C., and now London.
He has written for Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Businessweek magazine about a Dutch drug gang that hacked the Port of Antwerp in one of Europe’s biggest cocaine smuggling operations, a hacker in Colombia who interfered with elections throughout Latin America for a decade, and a cyber-weapons dealer in India who sold hacking software to the government of Mauritania in West Africa and created a hostage crisis in Italy.
He has reported extensively on China and the tampering of motherboards and computer code in the electronics supply chain, and efforts by China to steal trade secrets from Western corporations. One recent story focused on a Chinese Ministry of State Security intelligence officer who recruited engineers at Western jet engine manufacturers to steal data — and who was lured to Europe and arrested, carrying with him a journal that detailed years of espionage and career disgruntlement. Another recent story exposed an alleged corporate espionage plot involving Huawei and Denmark’s largest telecommunications service provider.
