The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has accused two Chinese intelligence officials of bribing U.S. government officials to steal "sensitive" documents.
Approximately $61,000 was paid in bitcoin to the officials, who were actually double agents, to steal the information.
DOJ explained that since 2019, a U.S. government law enforcement (GE-1) employee had been instructed by two Chinese intelligence officers to steal classified information.
Beware of bribery using Bitcoin!!
