When I first read the headline about a bug being found in Boris Johnson’s bathroom after a visit from Benjamin Netanyahu, my initial reaction was one of disbelief. Who would have thought that such espionage tactics would take place in a personal bathroom? The idea of listening devices in a thunderbox sounds like something out of a spy movie, not a real-life political meeting. It made me wonder what kind of top-secret information Netanyahu could possibly be trying to gather in such an intimate setting.
The details of the encounter between Boris Johnson and Benjamin Netanyahu, as described in Johnson’s book ‘Unleashed’, are both intriguing and comical.… Continue reading

The story of the sunken superyacht believed to contain watertight safes with sensitive intelligence data is like something straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the tragic accident that led to the yacht’s sinking, along with the sudden deaths of the two billionaires who owned it, have sparked a frenzy of speculation and conspiracy theories.
One aspect of the story that stands out is the revelation that one of the owners, Lynch, did not trust cloud services and always kept data drives in a secure compartment of the yacht. While it may seem like a cautious move to keep sensitive information close at hand, the decision to store such valuable data in a vulnerable location like a yacht raises serious concerns about security and risk management.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the recent news about Hezbollah hand-held radios detonating across Lebanon, I can’t help but feel a mix of shock, disbelief, and a hint of dark humor about the situation. What was once a joke about messenger pigeons suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched in light of these explosives disguised as communication devices. It’s a bizarre turn of events when something as simple as a hand-held radio becomes a potential threat, leaving me to question the safety of even the most basic tools in our daily lives.
The sheer audacity of walking around with radios that double as bombs is both alarming and, in a strange way, almost comical.… Continue reading
Poor kids… Imagine finding out that your whole life was a lie, that your parents had been deceiving you about your nationality and identity. It must be devastating for these children to learn that their parents were Russian spies posing as an Argentine couple in Slovenia. The betrayal runs deep in a situation like this, and the repercussions on the children’s mental state and future lives are profound.
The sheer audacity of the espionage in Slovenia is baffling. Spying on Slovenia seems like an odd choice, especially for a family with such a covert operation.

To be uprooted from everything you’ve ever known, from the language you speak to the friends you have, and suddenly thrust into a foreign, hostile environment – it’s absolutely chilling.… Continue reading
Children of undercover Russian spy couple only learned their nationality on flight to Moscow
Imagine living your normal life in Slovenia, going to school there, having friends, speaking Spanish, planning your life thinking you’re Argentinian – just to wake up one day and being put on a flight to Moscow because you’re Russian and your parents have been lying to you your entire life. The shock, confusion, and betrayal that these children must have felt is unimaginable. To think that the reality of their true identity only dawned on them as the plane took off from Ankara is mind-boggling. The sudden realization that everything they knew about themselves was a facade created by their parents is truly devastating.… Continue reading
I can’t believe that a former CIA analyst has been charged with serving as a secret agent for South Korea in exchange for luxury handbags and sushi dinners. The fact that someone in such a high position would betray their country for materialistic items is truly shocking. Who would have thought that luxury handbags could become a tool for espionage? It’s a bizarre situation that leaves me questioning the integrity and loyalty of individuals in crucial government roles.
Sue Mi Terry, who served in the US government for a decade, should have known better than to engage in such covert activities.… Continue reading
