Brit pol loses BlackBerry to spy
Concerns have been raised about the security of British secrets after a top political aide lost his BlackBerry device to a suspected Chinese spy, sources say.
The Sunday Times newspaper says one of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's most senior aides was the victim of a "honeytrap" scheme in which the man was lured to a hotel room by a woman he met in a disco in Shanghai, China, only to find the next morning that his BlackBerry device had been stolen.
Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper said the aide had been reprimanded for the incident, which allegedly happened during a two-day trip to China in January.
