The report said especially those employees “who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy” are being targeted by foreign countries

Summary

Russia and China are reportedly targeting recently fired or vulnerable U.S. federal employees for recruitment, CNN reports, citing intelligence sources.

They aim to exploit mass layoffs under Trump and DOGE, especially looking for individuals with knowledge of critical infrastructure.

Recruitment efforts include social media outreach on LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reddit.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard condemned the report, calling affected employees “disloyal.” A CNN source warned that ignoring the issue could have serious national security consequences.
