How do double agents operate?

Double agents are individuals who work for one intelligence agency or government while secretly providing information to another agency or government. Their goal is to gather intelligence from both sides and further their personal agenda or protect their own interests. Double agents typically exploit their access to classified information and their trusted position within an organization to gain the trust of the target agency or government. They often engage in deception and manipulation, carefully carrying out their double roles to avoid suspicion. Double agents must strike a delicate balance, being careful not to arouse suspicion while maintaining the facade of loyalty to both parties. Their operation involves discreet communication methods, careful management of their actions and intelligence, and constantly maneuvering between the two sides without being exposed.
