As the Cold War is drifting away, the bonds of globalization are getting closer, and the wish for peace has become the reality of most people’s lives. The so-called “humanity’s oldest occupation” seems to be far away from our lives, and even gradually fades away. People’s sight.
However, the once heated incident of US and Russian spies once again tells us that although the Cold War has ended and the world has changed and turbulent times, the spies have never stayed away. “They” have always been by our side – perhaps it is that we “bow our heads and see you up.” Good neighbor.
The development of information channels made the spy storm spread across the world through various channels in an instant. Under the detailed description of the media, the lives of spies have unveiled a veil of mystery, allowing the world to see that their mysterious profession may not be so. Mysterious content. For ordinary people, how these people work and what their working methods are are undoubtedly the most attractive.
Tools are daily, special tools are not necessary
The fictional character James Bond in the movie “007” uses special tools such as watch bombs, and many Russian spies arrested by the US use some daily necessities to perform spying tasks such as “connecting” and transmitting information.

FBI agents discovered that she had written the false name “Ilin Kuzov” on the purchase agreement. The media believes that because the buyer does not intend to use the mobile phone for a long time, the merchant does not need to check the identity of the other party during the transaction, which means that law enforcement agencies cannot use the phone call records to determine the identity of the suspect, and it is quite difficult to implement wiretapping. Suspects take advantage of this, often throwing them away after just making a call or two after buying such phones.
