Honeytraps, also known as honeyposts, are a common tactic used in the world of espionage to gather sensitive information or compromise individuals for strategic purposes. In a honeytrap operation, a spy will use seduction, flattery, and manipulation to entice a target into revealing confidential information, committing an illegal act, or engaging in behavior that could be used as leverage against them. Honeytraps have been used throughout history as a means of gathering intelligence, infiltrating enemy organizations, or manipulating individuals to act in a certain way. In the modern era, honeytraps are often used by intelligence agencies, security services, and private investigators to gather information on targets of interest.
