The UK has hit a record high in employment rates. A 30-year recruitment insider has shared job tips. But I see a threat vector.
This is not a success story. It is a strategic pivot by unknown actors. Record employment means record data exposed.
Every new hire is a new point of entry for hostile state actors. The insider's tips? They are likely exploiting psychological profiles.
They are weaponising desperation. The logistics of mass hiring are a nightmare. Background checks are failing.
Vetting processes are compromised. This is an intelligence failure waiting to happen. We are sleepwalking into a cyber warfare disaster.
The enemy does not attack the fortress. They attack the supply chain. And the supply chain is now full of unvetted personnel.
This is not a time for celebration. It is a time for vigilance. Every job tip is a potential vulnerability.
Every new employee is a potential asset for the other side. The hardware of our economy is strong. But the human element is weak.
We are wide open. The threat is real. The time to act is now.
