FBI Seizes Websites Allegedly Used by Chinese Agents to Recruit U.S. Officials

Federal authorities have seized over a dozen websites allegedly used by suspected Chinese agents to recruit former and current American officials with security clearances. According to the FBI, these websites were fronts for fake consulting companies aimed at recruiting individuals in the U.S. to obtain sensitive and possibly classified information in exchange for monetary payments. The conspirators reportedly used identity theft, AI-generated photos, and large payments for research reports to gain access to sensitive intel. The websites advertised positions such as 'International Affairs Analysts' and 'Jobs for Ex-Military Personnel,' targeting individuals with insider knowledge on topics of interest to the Chinese government. The FBI believes the people running the scheme were acting on behalf of the Chinese government, although they denied any foreign government involvement.
