The hidden tricks of the history of espionage / How "honey traps" lead the world's biggest managers to the trap of scandal?
"Honey traps" or the use of emotional and sexual relationships to influence decision makers and senior managers, have become a dangerous tool for the intelligence services to access classified documents.
