Spies working for Chinese intelligence are using job search and recruitment websites, including LinkedIn, to lure Western workers into sharing sensitive information, according to a joint advisory by the FBI, the U.K.’s security service MI5, and the governments of Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The advisory says Chinese spies pose as online recruiters and human resources firms who represent fake companies purportedly located outside of China, and target people with the aim of obtaining non-public information that might benefit Beijing.
