Chinese and Russian operatives are using “sex warfare” to seduce and spy on Silicon Valley professionals, industry insiders have told The Times.
James Mulvenon, the chief intelligence officer of Pamir Consulting, which provides risk assessments for American companies investing in China, said he was one of the many men recently targeted by foreign seductresses hoping to gain access to US tech secrets. “I’m getting an enormous number of very sophisticated LinkedIn requests from the same type of attractive young Chinese woman,” said Mulvenon. “It really seems to have ramped up recently.”
Mulvenon also described how, at a business conference on Chinese investment risks hosted last week in Virginia, two attractive Chinese women showed up and attempted to gain entry. “We didn’t let them in,” he said. “But they had all the information [about the event] and everything else.”
He added: “It is a phenomenon. And I will tell you: it is weird.”

I got secrets. Do they need a phone number?
It's common, what's weird is when someone falls for it, like Swalwell.
If you’re a female Chinese or Russian spy and you really screw up bad, they send you over here to seduce a Reddit mod as punishment.
It could be fun while it lasted; let the seduction run as far as it could go and then withhold the secret stuff.
Chinese and Russian hotties? Have I told y’all about all the tech secrets I have? Man, I’ve got a whole bunch of ‘em!
These geeks could never get a date in high school or college. They are easy pickings for determined beautiful spies.

Sad news. I think Laz already beat you to that gig. Better luck next time.
The author of the article just discovered that?
Where has he been the last 40+ years?
Or not when it’s Roddy Ho of the British TV series, Slow Horses.
Laz can’t come between me and the many lonely Ukrainian women flooding my inbox to meet me.
Like this hasn’t ever happened before.
Said no one.

Uh... never ever underestimate your competition (opponent). Big mistake (Lao Tzu).
I’ve got more secrets than you and I would never give them up easily or quickly.
Send them to Eric Swawell for vetting. A tactic as old as Delilah.
Nothing new or weird about a “honeytrap”. Just ask Eric Swalwell ...
The tactic is old as dirt, and works on men who think with their small head and women who think with their “cats”.
They need to give the feds a blow by blow description
