Honeytrap Sting Nets Blackberry

No 10 aide in ‘honeytrap sting’

A senior Downing Street aide appears to have been caught out in a honeytrap
operation when his BlackBerry went missing after he spent a night in his Shanghai hotel room with
a girl who approached him a disco. The incident, which occurred during Gordon
Brown's visit to China
earlier this year, has all the signs of a classic Chinese intelligence agency
sting and is similar to other intelligence gathering operations that have
occurred in the recent years. The theft was immediately reported by the aide to
the PM's security detail, but could have allowed anyone who came into
possession of the Blackberry to gain access to the No 10 email system. (Sunday
