Honey traps in the age of AI: From ancient tradecraft to the Nvidia controversy

[TheWeek] From biblical times to Britain's MI5 memo, history is replete with examples of the honey trap still ...
Few espionage techniques have proven to be as formidable and enduring as the ’honey trap.’ Across centuries, changing technologies, and evolving geopolitical rivalries, intelligence services have repeatedly relied on personal relationships, emotional manipulation, and sexual leverage to gain access to information that could not be obtained through conventional means. Often dismissed as a cinematic trope populated by glamorous spies and dramatic betrayals, the honey trap remains one of the most enduring instruments in the intelligence toolkit.
History is replete with examples. The biblical story of Samson and Delilah is perhaps the most famous illustration of personal intimacy being used to extract strategic secrets.
Modern popular culture only amplified these narratives, from the femme fatales of early European spy thrillers to the succession of seductresses who populate Cold War fiction and James Bond films. Yet the persistence of such stories is not merely a reflection of artistic imagination. They endure because they draw from methods that intelligence agencies have repeatedly employed in the real world.
