  • If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the  change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link},  to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well

    • In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.
  • See all FeedsPress parameters here.

    A new wave of espionage operations threatens the security of Silicon Valley, exploiting romantic relationships to infiltrate top technology firms.

    Story Snapshot

    • Russian and Chinese operatives are reportedly using “sex warfare” tactics to target Silicon Valley companies.
    • These operations rely on personal seduction rather than traditional cyber espionage methods.
    • Aliia Roza, a former Russian operative, has revealed these tactics, adding credibility to the claims.
    • Security experts warn of increased espionage threats, urging companies to enhance vetting procedures.

    Espionage Tactics Targeting Silicon Valley

    Allegations have surfaced that Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies are conducting systematic espionage operations against Silicon Valley technology companies. These operations reportedly use romantic relationships and personal seduction as primary infiltration methods, a significant shift from traditional cyber-based intelligence gathering. This method is believed to provide foreign powers an asymmetric advantage against the open, collaborative culture of Silicon Valley.

    Aliia Roza, a former Russian “sex spy,” has provided firsthand accounts of recruitment, training, and operational methodologies used by these intelligence services. Roza claims she was trained in sexual espionage tactics as a teenager, providing a personal dimension to the allegations. The reports, which emerged in October 2025, coincide with heightened tensions between the United States and both Russia and China over technological dominance.

    Impact on Silicon Valley and National Security

    Silicon Valley’s culture of openness, collaboration, and trust creates fertile ground for human-driven espionage. The international workforce and startup culture facilitate the infiltration of foreign operatives who can pose as entrepreneurs or investors. Professional networking platforms like LinkedIn have become vectors for initial contact and relationship building. Security experts urge technology companies and defense contractors to implement enhanced vetting procedures and counterintelligence protocols.

    The U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) characterizes these operations as a fusion of human and cyber espionage. The strategic importance of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and space technology has elevated the value of intellectual property theft. The revelations may contribute to existing geopolitical tensions between the U.S., China, and Russia, with potential long-term implications for national security and technology competition.

    Expert Reactions and Recommendations

    James Mulvenon, Chief Intelligence Officer at Pamir Consulting, has documented suspicious online connections and attempted infiltrations. He reports a significant rise in sophisticated LinkedIn requests from attractive young Chinese women. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, responded to the revelations with humor, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. Despite the humor, the threat remains serious, with intelligence agencies investigating suspected cases of infiltration.

    Security professionals emphasize the need for enhanced security protocols and counterintelligence measures. However, some observers note that increased security measures may conflict with Silicon Valley’s collaborative culture and international workforce. The ongoing investigations underscore the importance of vigilance and proactive measures to protect intellectual property and national security.

    The allegations of “sex warfare” espionage operations targeting Silicon Valley represent a significant evolution in intelligence tradecraft. While specific details remain unverified, the consistent reporting across independent sources and alignment with known intelligence methodologies suggest the threat is substantive and growing. The implications extend beyond individual companies to broader questions about national security, technology competition, and the balance between openness and security in innovation-driven economies.
