New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) The ISI’s honey-trap module has become one of India’s biggest security challenges. With each passing day, the agencies are arresting scores of people both common citizens as well as officials who have been accused of sharing sensitive information with Pakistan’s ISI after being honey-trapped. While dealing with this issue has become an ongoing operation for the Indian agencies, the new problem lies in the fact that the ISI wants to make these honey-trapping modules completely home-grown in nature and also use Artificial Intelligence-generated images.
