Here’s a tip for journalists covering the U.S.-North Korea nuclear summit in Singapore this week: if you get free media swag that plugs into your phone or computer, like a USB fan, don’t use it. For that matter, you might want to take the batteries out of your smartphone, buy a “burner” phone, and never let any electronic devices out of your sight while you’re covering the summit.

Why? Because China is going to be spying on you.

More than 3,000 journalists are now in Singapore to cover the summit, giving Beijing a target-rich environment for all manner of hacking, tracking, and surveilling. China doesn’t have a seat at the negotiating table, but it will be listening in as best it can, using everything from free USB fans to advanced forensic devices that can circumvent some forms of disk encryption and extract information from mobile phones and computers.
