Former government and military employees and contractors are not shy about publicly posting details of their work histories on the website in order to obtain lucrative jobs in the private sector. This presents a potential goldmine to foreign intelligence agencies.
Not just AI spies, then?
It’s somewhat scary how Chinese spies are hiding in plain sight on LinkedIn. I’m glad I rarely go on there anymore. It has turned into a three ringed circus of self promotion anyway 🙂

I agree. I liked the idea of it when it started, a way of keeping in touch with people we’ve worked with, but it’s far less useful nowadays. Unless you’re a spy, that is!
