Pakistani ISI uses honeytraps to extract military secrets from citizens.
Haryana Police recently arrested a 31-year-old man, Sunil, for allegedly sharing sensitive information about the Indian Army and Air Force with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) through a honeytrap scheme. Using a fake female profile on social media, the operatives reportedly manipulated him over several months, leading to disclosures about military unit locations and troop movements. This incident underscores a growing concern regarding honeytrapping in espionage, particularly as digital interactions become more prevalent. In response, Indian defense forces are reinforcing guidelines to safeguard personnel against such tactics, emphasizing caution in online engagements and the protection of sensitive information.
