U.S. Army intelligence has warned active-duty members of the military to beware unsolicited approaches on social networking sites like LinkedIn, warning they could be from foreign agents.
Lt. Gen. Anthony Hale, the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, warned that America’s enemies are seeking to exploit perceived disaffection in the ranks arising from the record 43-day government shutdown, which ended earlier this month but saw 750,000 federal employees furloughed without pay and personnel in uniform facing uncertainty over their paychecks and work orders.
