* In 2024, US Federal authorities [[https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2024/03/05/air-force-employee-allegedly-leaked-classified-info-on-dating-site/ accused an Air Force employee]] of leaking classified information about the Russo-Ukrainian War to a romantic intertest through a foreign online dating platform. After the transcripts of the conversations were revealed, many observers remarked just how ''transparent'' the agent was in buttering the employee up and how blatant the requests for classified information were. It seems this case was less about the agent on the other side being clever and more about the Air Force employee utterly [[FailedASpotCheck failing to see the obvious signs]] due to [[LustMakesYouDumb not thinking with the right head]].
