Exclusive: US intel shows Russia and China are attempting to recruit disgruntled federal employees, sources say

Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon,
The article from MSN discusses how U.S. intelligence has uncovered efforts by Russia and China to recruit disgruntled federal employees. According to sources, these foreign powers are exploiting the dissatisfaction among some U.S. federal workers, particularly those who feel marginalized or are facing job-related grievances. The recruitment attempts are part of a broader strategy to gain access to sensitive information or influence U.S. policy from within. The intelligence community is increasingly concerned about this trend, noting that economic pressures, political polarization, and general disillusionment with government service are making some employees more susceptible to foreign overtures. The article highlights that these recruitment efforts are not just limited to high-level officials but also target lower-level staff who might have access to valuable data or systems. The U.S. government is responding by enhancing security measures, increasing counterintelligence training, and monitoring for signs of insider threats.
