Espionage, spying, or intelligence gathering, as a subfield of the intelligence field, is the act of obtaining secret, confidential, or in some way valuable information. Such information is also referred to as intelligence. A person who commits espionage as part of a specific mission is called an espionage agent or spy. A person who commits espionage as a fully employed officer of a government is called an intelligence officer. Espionage may be conducted in a foreign country, domestically or remotely. Any individual or spy ring, in the service of a government, company, criminal organization, or independent operation, can commit espionage. The practice is clandestine, as it is by definition unwelcome. In some circumstances, it may be a legal tool of law enforcement and in others, it may be illegal and punishable by law.
