Fake consulting offers are becoming one of the newest tools used to target security clearance holders.
Following the FBI's shutdown of 13 fake company websites allegedly linked to efforts targeting current and former cleared professionals, Lindy explains why "consulting opportunities" should be raising red flags.
Foreign actors know that experienced government, military, intelligence, and defense professionals possess valuable knowledge, networks, and credentials. Rather than directly asking for classified information, many schemes begin with seemingly legitimate consulting offers, requests for expertise, or opportunities promising easy money for a few conversations.
In this video, Lindy discusses how fake consultants and fraudulent companies are using resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and professional networking opportunities to identify and target cleared talent—and what you can do to protect yourself.
If someone is offering unusually high pay simply because of your clearance, background, or government experience, it's time to take a closer look.
