A shocking Senate hearing reveals how a simple messaging blunder exposed U.S. military plans. But the real bombshell? A claim that China is poaching fired U.S. federal workers. A Reuters report claims a network of companies operated by a secretive Chinese tech firm has been trying to recruit recently laid-off U.S. government workers, according to job ads and a researcher who uncovered the campaign.
