El FBI deshabilita 13 sitios web sospechosos de espionaje chino

El FBI ha deshabilitado 13 sitios web que la inteligencia china presuntamente utilizaba para atacar a estadounidenses con autorizaciones de seguridad. Los sitios se hacían pasar por firmas de consultoría que ofrecían dinero fácil para reclutar o coaccionar a personas con el fin de que compartieran información confidencial.

El Departamento de Justicia anunció la medida el miércoles. Las autoridades señalaron que los dominios tenían como objetivo a personal actual y antiguo del gobierno estadounidense con autorizaciones de seguridad. Roman Rozhavsky, subdirector de la División de Contrainteligencia y Espionaje del FBI, declaró que los sitios falsos utilizaban contenido generado por IA. Destacó los esfuerzos para engañar o chantajear a personas para que divulgaran información clasificada. La embajada china en Washington rechazó las afirmaciones. Calificó las acusaciones de calumnias fabricadas y malintencionadas. El FBI citó observaciones de la inteligencia china utilizando IA junto con redes profesionales y plataformas de pago en este tipo de operaciones.
