The security agencies in the 'Five Eyes' alliance warn about Chinese spies who are recruiting online individuals with access to sensitive information.

The security agencies in the 'Five Eyes' alliance, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, have issued a joint warning regarding Chinese espionage. The bulletin 'Protecting Our Secrets' emphasizes that China's military intelligence services are using online job platforms to recruit individuals from government, military, and other fields with access to classified information.

The purpose of these actions is to acquire military, political, and economic information that would give China a strategic advantage. Although there have been previous warnings, this joint bulletin is considered unprecedented. Beijing has rejected the espionage allegations, calling them slander. The spies specifically target specialists in the defense sector and journalists, and those recruited may be paid for confidential information. The US and the UK have previously warned about the recruitment methods of Chinese intelligence services.
