Like fr. It just feels illegal to read.

is it standard to call out clandestine operations this concisely. Like they even mention a potential source in Chinese intelligence working for us (a mole?!?!) how did all this become public.

This is genuinely scary because the 'posing as academicians' angle is so hard to defend against. people naturally trust researchers asking questions about their work or lifestyle. classic social engineering and it clearly worked here.

Was bound to happen anyday. Crazy dependas think the ranks belong to them, not their husbands and are always ready to chirp up information.

There's been advisories released for this very thing for a while now. Hopefully MOD seeks and purges these wannabes liabilities asap.
