Chinese grad students have already copied all university research lab hard drive contents and sent them back to China. One of them admitted to my friend to doing it and being sent to the school by the Chinese military. Chinese grad students are a massive espionage risk, second only to Israeli nationals.

I'd even go and say the Mossad is miles ahead of the NSA... the NSA goes for the brute force approach: grab every piece of data they can get their hold on with enormous resources and attempt to make sense of the pile later. The Mossad is orders of magnitude more resource-efficient, they go for surgical strikes against whomever they are targeting. And they don't care at all if their target is an allied state, a neutral state or an enemy state.

Now exfiltrating designs of devices might be a different thing but science is more about the training and becoming an expert. Learning how to do research is the most important part. Most experiments are difficult to replicate anyway.
