🔍 Sex Spies Invade Silicon Valley | Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-Up
This week on Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-Up, Neil Bisson — retired CSIS intelligence officer and Director of the Global Intelligence Knowledge Network — explores how espionage, seduction, and psychological warfare are colliding in the heart of the global tech industry.
🇬🇧 In the United Kingdom, a major espionage trial collapses after political hesitation prevents officials from labeling China an “active threat,” exposing how politics can cripple counterintelligence.
🇷🇺 Across Britain, Russian-backed saboteurs are sentenced under the new National Security Act, marking the first convictions for state-directed arson and hybrid warfare on Western soil.
💋 In Silicon Valley, Russian and Chinese operatives deploy “sexpionage” tactics — leveraging seduction and emotional manipulation to infiltrate high-tech industries and steal intellectual property.
🕵️♀️ Former Russian operative Aliia Roza warns that these covert programs are not relics of the Cold War, but active 21st-century operations targeting engineers, researchers, and AI developers.
🇻🇪 And in Venezuela, the regime claims to have captured a CIA-linked mercenary group — a stark reminder of how propaganda, perception, and hybrid warfare shape modern intelligence conflicts.
Each story this week reveals a chilling truth: the most effective espionage weapon today isn’t technology — it’s human emotion.
