A young undercover FBI operative risks everything to expose America’s most devastating traitor — revealing how Cold-War spycraft evolved into today’s cybercrime economy.
The shocking true story of Robert Hanssen — the FBI mole who sold America’s deepest secrets to Russia for over 20 years, leading to the execution of multiple double agents and triggering the worst intelligence breach in U.S. history. 🕵️♂️🔥
In this episode, we break down how a 26-year-old undercover FBI operative, Eric O’Neill, helped bring Hanssen down using spycraft, psychological manipulation, and a stolen PalmPilot that became the smoking gun.
This real-life espionage case connects directly to modern cybercrime, insider threats, social engineering, and AI-powered deception — proving that trust, not technology, is the ultimate vulnerability.
🕵️ This isn’t fiction — it really happened.
Robert Hanssen sold America’s secrets for over two decades, sending double agents to their deaths… and a 26-year-old rookie brought him down.
