The Tricky Web: How a Fake Website Tricked People into a Trap.
Reading
A website called \"Betray Motherland Online\" gave info to Russian spies. It was likely made by them to find people who felt guilty. This is what a team of researchers said. They are from OSINT Intl, which is in NATO headquarters.
The team did a study for two years. They found the website was made to be at the top of search results. People searched for things like \"I want to betray my country\" and \"I am an enemy of Russia.\"
People filled out forms on the website without knowing the truth. They put in their passport info and where they lived. They thought Ukrainian spies would contact them and give them instructions. Instead, Russian police arrested them.
The researchers said the people were arrested for wanting truth and justice. The police took action against them.
Only careful people did not get arrested. They unchecked a box. The box said they agreed to their info being used in court.
