Summary
Russia and China are reportedly targeting recently fired or vulnerable U.S. federal employees for recruitment, CNN reports, citing intelligence sources.
They aim to exploit mass layoffs under Trump and DOGE, especially looking for individuals with knowledge of critical infrastructure.
Recruitment efforts include social media outreach on LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reddit.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard condemned the report, calling affected employees “disloyal.” A CNN source warned that ignoring the issue could have serious national security consequences.
Thats actually pretty brilliant. Fire a bunch of important people/piss them off and take away their income then swoop in and offer these important and knowledgable people money for information and/or access. Who wouldn’t be disgruntled after all this BS?
