    If anything, being hacked by a foreign government rather than your own might be preferable, as foreign governments rarely care to use parallel construction in order to press criminal charges over domestic infractions. All the better if it's a foreign government with no interest in sharing what it learns with your own.

    Of course, if you're trying to protect intellectual property or trade secrets, you'd probably prefer that it's your government who will respect copyright, rather than a foreign government who will funnel that information into its own private sector for the boost to the GDP and the ability to cut down on reliance on foreign goods and services.
