The CIA has launched a new recruitment drive targeting informants in China, Iran, and North Korea, building on its previously successful campaign in Russia. The agency has released instructions in Mandarin, Farsi, and Korean on platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, LinkedIn, and the Dark Web, detailing how individuals can contact the CIA securely. This initiative aims to gather intelligence from these 'hard target' nations, which are notoriously difficult for foreign intelligence agencies to penetrate. The CIA's efforts are driven by growing geopolitical tensions, including China's increased military activities and cooperation with Russia and Iran, as well as North Korea's nuclear weapons program. The agency assures potential informants that their safety is a priority, providing guidance on using VPNs and the TOR network to maintain anonymity. This recruitment drive reflects the CIA's adaptation to heightened state repression and global surveillance in these authoritarian regimes.
