The FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) have produced and released a 30-minute movie, inspired by true events, called “The Nevernight Connection.” The movie details the fictional account of a former U.S. Intelligence Community official targeted by foreign intelligence service via a fake profile on a professional networking site and recruited to turn over classified information.

This movie aims to increase awareness of how foreign intelligence entities use fake profiles and other forms of deception on social media platforms to target individuals in government, business, and academic communities for recruitment and information gathering.
