Ex-Sex Spy Reveals Tactics Used to Entice Tech Insiders for Secrets

Imagine some spies pretending to be someone's perfect match to steal secrets.

A former Russian spy named Aliia Roza says she was trained to do just that.

She explains how these spies would pretend to 'accidentally' show up where their target goes, like a coffee shop.

Then, they'd act lonely and sad, making the target feel like a hero who needs to help them.

They'd compliment them a lot and even fake having the same friends to build trust.

Sometimes, they would make the target feel bad about their job or friends to create a special bond.

If that didn't work, they might even threaten to leave if they didn't get the secret information.

Roza says people working long hours in tech are often lonely, making them easier to trick.

She used to do this for her country, but now she wants to teach people how to spot these tricks and stay safe.
