What a disgusting move, but why am I surprised? A Putin supporter always behaves like Putin
Didnt read the article but anything on a public platform is publically accessible information=
Even with fake recruitment processes, how would confidential information be compromised? It’s not like classified documents can be provided if requested by a recruiter.
Sounds like the EU/NATO civil servants are also massively to blame and provided sensitive information that they should not have.
What the… This explains the continuous Chinese LinkedIn recruiters trying to get my wife to join for precious institution in China with project funds worth 500k euros and work from anywhere option like we can literally ask any lab to be a host and we can do a research there.
It was not just one Chinese guy, she previously got one from some African country profile , even that guy also had Google scholarships profile, many citations to his papers but something felt off so she did not continue.
She has done a PhD and Post doc research too.
No shit. When I’ve worked at defence companies I got some very suspicious connection attempts on places like linkedin. Just ignored them, partly because they did look sus as hell and partly because I only really care about using linkedin for finding new jobs.
Foreign threat actors use publicly accessible data to spy on its enemies.
Water is wet.
As far as espionage goes, this is very vanilla.
Paying people for legit reports (legal), then once the check clears. You ask them if they also have other reports that are not public just yet or ask them what they have heard or what’s in the grape vines(rumors and unofficial information)
>Topics of interest reportedly included EU sanctions and other measures targeting China, as well as NATO’s strategy in Asia — particularly concerning Taiwan.
> In return, recruits from countries including France, Belgium and the United Kingdom were paid several hundred — and in some cases several thousand — dollars
those amounts seem quite low and the information being gathered is generic.. I wonder if all they got was some chatgpt generated “research”
