What is a honey trap ⁠— the reason why the Indian Army banned social platform

Indian Army was banned from a lot of social platforms because it was discovered that Pakistan is using 150 profiles to lure honey-trap Indian Army officers. Someone posing as an attractive person entices another into revealing confidential information or doing something unwise. The woman may flirt with the army officers when using tinder, because they can see the personal information to select the friends so this is the big bug for civil servants. As a result, there was a trap when using tinder because having a high view means that a lot of people are interested in you thus your personal information is lacking security.
