A world-renowned Ohio State University (OSU) (click here) who had access to restricted defense information as part of his work with NASA is under investigation by the FBI for failing to disclose his ongoing connections to Chinese scientists, The Columbus Dispatch has reported.
Professor Rongxing Li, 56, unexpectedly resigned from his position in the OSU Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering in February 2014.
Li told OSU that he was going back to China to take care of his sick mother, and no one has heard from him since....
I'd start by asking China what can be done to help his mother.
I am of the opinion there simply isn't secure information where computers are concerned. Who is to say the information allegedly shared with China wasn't stolen by Chinese hackers. The cyber security of the USA has been abysmal. It is the case because there is a lie chronically part of any conversation that computerized information is secure. That lie has to be propagated by commercial companies seeking the respect of people that pay them for internet access. Besides the money for paying for service there is the "Terms of Service" that sells every aspect of their private life for profit.
So, if there is some kind of idea thumb drives and CDs are secure is pure nonsense. With that aside and with the USA concerned for his well being; what is left is to ask the Chinese government if his mother had needs his government can help with.
