Oh $#!t. Just in case you needed another example of how these twits don't even understand the game they are playing and the full consequences of their bullshit.
Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.
