Spies Losing Billions But Still RSVP’d on LinkedIn
Australia just spilled the tea on espionage: $12.5 billion lost to foreign spies but 'tens of billions' saved thanks to ASIO's secret agent hustle. ASIO boss Burgess warned, 'When you advertise it on a professional networking site... you are becoming a target.' Yes, apparently bragging about spy skills on socials is the equivalent of sending the entire CIA a gift basket. Remember, all countries spy, but Australia's message is clear: don't put 'Espionage Enthusiast' on your LinkedIn unless you want a knock at the door.
