How it's used
This term specifically implies someone who is already part of a group or organization but is secretly working for an outside party. It carries a strong sense of betrayal and is frequently used in crime dramas or workplace gossip to describe a traitor within the ranks. Unlike general terms for spies, it emphasizes the insider status of the person.
