High-profile tech tycoons driven by sex, money and ego have become prime targets for sophisticated honeypot traps from foreign enemies — and the stakes have never been higher, experts warned.

Toby Braun, founder of the American Special Investigative Group, said his firm has seen honeypot traps skyrocket in recent years, with women luring powerful men to casually give up their secrets.
