FBI warns Boston-area startups: Beware Russian spies posing as VCs | VentureBeat | Entrepreneur | by Adrien Henni, East-West Digital News: In a bid to “educate the private sector and raise awareness about economic espionage and cyber counterintelligence,” FBI special agents Lucia M.

The warning took the form of a notification to local players and an op-ed published in the Boston Business Journal. The text urged those contacted by Russian venture capitalists “to remain vigilant and cognizant of the potential losses and compromises of company assets.”
