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.
I’d like to see links, or at least screenshots, to these supposed outreaches, looong before we start accusing people who would apparently be warning us of such recruitment efforts as disloyal. Sounds like it’s just fElons trying to justify their past imbecilic actions by post dating the firings with “and they’re disloyal, too!”
