There are many platforms online where companies post jobs, these platforms help people in getting jobs, but are these job platforms really safe? This question comes in the mind of many people, it would be wrong to say that every company cheats people. But there are some companies which were cheating people in the name of fake jobs, FBI has cracked down on more than a dozen such websites. The Justice Department said that these websites were part of a Chinese effort to target American employees who had access to confidential or sensitive government information.
For example, last week the Five Eyes, an intelligence-sharing alliance of English-speaking countries that includes Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US, issued a bulletin warning that China was targeting workers in these countries on job-related websites to obtain confidential or sensitive information. The bulletin said that Chinese military intelligence spies, working as employees of private companies or think tanks, advertise for fake jobs such as foreign policy or defense analysts and pressure candidates to provide information.
These fake websites used fraudulently obtained or stolen identities and AI-generated images to appear real. They also advertised general consulting jobs for current or former US government employees.
