Sex and Espionage Traps
“Sexual traps” are used to lure people in positions of influence by building romantic or intimate relationships, then exploiting their trust to obtain sensitive information or using personal material to blackmail them. They may be carried out by trained operatives or by people in the target’s professional or social circle. The Cold War saw examples of this, including “Romeo spies” who targeted women in West Germany. Unsubstantiated allegations about Alice Huang and her relationship with Nvidia’s CEO have brought the tactic back into the spotlight, while Beijing has denied the accusations. Security officials warn people to be wary of relationships in which the attention seems unusually intense, and advise them to exercise caution and seek help if they suspect an attempt to lure them.
