The FBI seizes 13 internet domains that U.S. officials say were used in an alleged Chinese intelligence operation to target current and former holders of U.S. security clearances. According to multiple reports, the sites were presented as legitimate consulting companies and posted job openings aimed at people with access to classified or other sensitive government information. Officials say the companies behind the postings were fake, and the recruitment process was designed to entice targeted individuals to share personal information and sensitive material. One account describes the use of AI-generated profiles and deceptive job offers as part of the scheme. The operation is reported to involve domain seizures and takedowns, with U.S. authorities presenting the action as part of a broader counterintelligence effort. The reports also describe the alleged goal as persuading, recruiting, or coercing individuals for foreign intelligence interests, including through tactics such as deception and potential leverage over targeted people. The seized websites are tied to job advertising that officials characterize as a sham, and the FBI and related U.S. authorities issue warnings about the risks of such solicitations.
