Secretive Chinese Network Targets Laid-Off U.S. Federal Workers

A secretive Chinese network is reportedly targeting recently laid-off U.S. federal workers, according to research released on March 25, 2025. The operation aims to recruit these individuals for sensitive research and consulting roles, exploiting their previous access to classified information. This effort is believed to be part of a broader strategy by China to gain insights into U.S. government operations and technologies.

The targeted workers, previously employed by agencies such as the Department of Defense and NASA, have been approached by a tech firm linked to the Chinese government. The firm offers lucrative positions to those with expertise in areas critical to national security, raising concerns about espionage and intellectual property theft.

This development comes amidst heightened tensions between the U.S. and China over cybersecurity and trade issues. The U.S. government has not yet issued an official response but is expected to address the situation as it continues to monitor the activities of this network.
