Such is the nature of espionage! Except now it can be done from a distance by fake personalities instead of training a hit young lady in all the tactics of spy craft.

Some "infamous" examples are:

Mata Hari

Anna Chapman

Vera Atkins

Krystyna Skarbek (Churchill's favorite spy)

Nancy Wake

Pearl Cornioley

Virginia Hall

Targeting "techy" lonely men has always been an effective means of gaining valuable intellegence.
