Lets say you work logistics for a company who makes weapons systems, or partial weapon systems, for the US military. Your work email has blueprints from engineers and/or customers that aren't technically classified, but are export controlled nonetheless. If the enemy knows you work logistics for this company and they want to know how this system works, they can use the blueprints in your email.
Lets say you work for Samsung in purchasing and someone in China has a knock-off chip that they want to sell to Samsung, but Samsung won't move away from their current provider. They could use your login information to log into your account with the competing supplier and view pricing information that gives them the upper hand in negotiations.
Lets say you work at a business consulting firm who does business with an upstream supplier to Raytheon. China is trying to figure out information on Raytheon's project and is mapping out their supply chain. By targeting your conversations with your client (who is in Raytheon's supply chain) China could learn a lot of valuable information about their target.
