🔵 Honey traps and hacking: our democracy is under attack in a new Cold War ✒️ 'Politicians must be vigilant over threats posed by foreign governments', writes LOS_Fisher for ipaperviews
Soliciting prostitutes, boozing to excess and verbally abusing local staff. Brits abroad, eh? Only, for once it isn’t boorish lads on a stag party who stand accused of appalling conduct overseas, but British parliamentarians.
Still, the incident has provoked unease in Government, where sources fear the ruse was clearly intended to gain leverage over MPs on the trip. If any parliamentarian had fallen prey to temptation, hidden cameras would probably have recorded footage that, in turn, could have been used to blackmail the politician.
A plethora of espionage operations are targeting our politicians, with outré tactics like the honey trap dovetailing with far more artful techniques that are harder to detect.
