Good news! If you're on LinkedIn looking for your next opportunity, have a top secret clearance, access to sensitive economic data, or currently work for the government or the military industrial complex, you've got a job offer coming your way! According to a fancy-looking memo released by the Five Eyes Intelligence partners today, the People's Republic of China is trawling online recruitment sites hoping to snag talented individuals with insider information that could give them a military or technological edge on western-aligned nations:
Successful candidates are pressured to provide "non-public" information for unspecified clients associated with the Chinese government. China's military intelligence services ultimately seek to acquire privileged military, political and economic intelligence that can provide China with a strategic and tactical advantage over the Five Eyes.
The memo, which is available to download as a PDF and tape to the ceiling above your bed, explains why this is likely a bad thing and provides a breakdown of how Chinese Intelligence agents lure pros with the skills to pay the top secret bills to apply to work for them.
Given how many government employees in America were kicked to the curb during DOGE's idiotic spring cleaning spree, there's a good chance that there are folks out there desperate or oblivious enough to accept the work being offered by the Chinese government. If you're interested in learning a little more about Human Intelligence operators posing as online recruiters, this handy guide will sort you out.
