U.S. Seizes Domain Names Allegedly Linked to Chinese Agent Scams

Federal authorities announced the seizure of 13 ‌Internet domains tied to what the U.S. Justice Department called fake consulting firms designed to recruit current or former U.S. government and military employees to provide information to suspected Chinese agents. These ​fake firms target people via job listings for consulting or analyst roles, and ​then pressure applicants for exclusive or insider information, the department said ⁠in a statement.
