The Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) tabled its annual report to Parliament Wednesday afternoon, providing an overview of its security performance and Australia’s security environment and outlook.
In the report, ASIO disclosed it had issued advice to stakeholders across “government, business, and industry” about social media platforms being used to recruit people into hostile intelligence services.
Specifically, the intelligence agency provided advice describing how LinkedIn and other social media platforms were being used to target people in positions for foreign intelligence purposes.
