Russian and Chinese spies are targeting fired US federal workers: Report
The foreign adversaries are reportedly ‘aggressively targeting’ fired federal workers
The intelligence services of Russia, China, and other foreign adversaries are attempting to recruit U.S. federal workers who lost their jobs in the DOGE-directed massive layoffs, according to a report.
The countries appear to be attempting to take advantage of President Donald Trump’s plans to downsize the federal government, sources familiar with American intelligence on the matter told CNN.

It’s a really smart move because I’m sure those workers are feeling betrayed. Really, I expect they’ll be quite successful in their overall goal.
Failing that, they can simply purchase the information they want straight from the top.

Scary thing is, these laid off employees may end up working for Russia or China and not even know it. Trump just eliminated many of the rules and regs that might've identified a company as a foreign state-owned entity.

Probably that's the way Elon and Trump circumvent the "I'm not a traitor, I didn't sell any classified information". Probably for a couple of billions, they do these unhinged action items, layoff key employees that Russia and China will hire, and the traitors are the disgruntled employees, not Elon Trump

Capitalism, baby! We're in a dog-eat-dog world and you'd be a fool not to sell out your grandmother for a bigger house or a faster car. The only word for a spook who doesn't sign the line and sell out his nation is "Sucker!" You're a hyper-individualist, you don't owe anyone anything, and you should get while the getting is good, because you know Social Security and Government Pensions aren't going to be here for you by the end of this guy's term.

Yes, we know. We even know the names of the spies: Gabbard, Musk, Trump, etc.

Think of how many workers have been fired since the start of Trump's term.
Think of how many of those workers still have access to the systems they used to work on because DOGE has no idea what they're doing and these agencies simply haven't had time to revoke the access of these people.
Now think of what happens if .1% of those people either sell out to or are compromised by Russian and Chinese spies. Just one pissed off systems administrator. That's all it would take. One systems administrator either intentionally selling out or themselves being compromised and suddenly the Chinese government has admin access to our critical systems.

What makes you think they don't already have that with who's in charge now? If Trump is so close with Putin then he's also automatically in kahoots with Mr pooh bear.
