Dr.Smith: Certainly, thank you for having me. This alert underscores the heightened awareness about the threat of foreign espionage and emphasizes that national security isn’t solely the responsibility of intelligence agencies. It signals to the public that they have a crucial role to play in safeguarding national interests.
TIME.news: The BI listed several warning signs, including unusual behavior, attempts to access classified information, and covert dialog. can you elaborate on what these might look like in real-world scenarios?
Dr. Smith: Absolutely. Imagine someone repeatedly photographing a government building or critical infrastructure site, going beyond what appears to be normal tourist interest. Or consider someone repeatedly trying to access confidential databases even without authorization, even if they eventually fail. These are red flags that indicate a potential security breach. Covert communication, especially when using encrypted apps or foreign languages, could also raise concerns, suggesting attempts to hide information from prying eyes.
TIME.news: Why is it vital for citizens to report these potential warning signs, even if they seem insignificant?

Even seemingly trivial details can provide valuable pieces of a larger puzzle that investigators need to understand the full scope of a potential threat.
TIME.news: what advice do you have for citizens who think they may have witnessed something suspicious?
Dr. Smith: the BI has provided clear channels for reporting any concerns. Utilize the dedicated hotline or online portal outlined in their alert.
