According to the Caja Fuerte column by Luis Miguel González, published on November 11, 2026, industrial espionage in Mexico is a problem that receives little attention but is real. Drawing on the case of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, the author warns that it is not limited to multimillion-dollar secrets: it can also affect a bakery that loses its recipe or a company that leaks its bid in a competitive tender.

González points out that the topic barely appears in public conversation: the business victimization survey does not even include it, since extortion, protection payments, and violence are currently of greater concern. In addition, many companies lack a culture of information protection and neglect to verify the identity of their key personnel.

According to the New York Times, the company where Alice Huang worked purchased, in less than three years, NVIDIA chips worth 7.5 billion dollars that, for security reasons, could not reach China. There is no formal accusation or conclusive evidence of ties to Chinese intelligence.

In Mexico, where equipment for Data Centers and aerospace components with possible military use are manufactured, security controls are presumed to be strict. Even so, trade secrets can fall into the hands of criminal groups or foreign governments through cyberattacks, a risk heightened by artificial intelligence. Moreover, penalties are lenient: three to six years in prison and fines of up to 58.5 million pesos, an amount lower than what Alice Huang was spending on NVIDIA in a single week.
