Long before current traditions of #ValentinesDay sprang forth, spymasters worldwide have used the amorous arts to obtain secrets from their enemies. Known as “honey traps” or “honeypots,” rivals ensnared their adversaries in a game of love, lure, & lies.
While most think of female temptresses when they hear the term "honey trap," men too have been used as honey traps to steal secrets. For example, in West Germany during the height of the Cold War.
After #WWII many West German... women took jobs in business, government, parliament, military, & intel often having access to highly classified secrets. Thus they became targets for East German male spies interested in only one thing: secrets. These men were nicknamed “Romeo Spies.”

CIA #Museum Artifact of the Week: Office Computer Used by Aldrich Ames
From the computer in his office and through his friends and colleagues, Aldrich Ames had access to many CIA activities pertaining to the Soviet Union. Ames walked into the Soviet Embassy in Washington, DC in 1985 and began secretly working for the USSR for the next nine years. He provided information that critically hampered CIA and resulted in the deaths of a number of Soviets who had been working as sources for US intelligence. Ames fell under suspicion for his extravagant lifestyle, and an ensuing investigation led to his arrest in 1994. He pled guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.
