If you're having trouble finding the spies, try to go outside of the Warfang Hold towards the south. There don't seem to be any actually within the hold. If you have your sound on, you'll hear the stealth noise while running around, which is a sign that one of them is nearby.
Note that if the assault is going on, these spies don't seem to appear.

The listening devices ALSO seem to be phasing out when the assault is ongoing.
I found a lot more near the peons and always on top of an Alliance Field Pack

Description
It looks like the stealth generators aren't the only tech that SI:7 is bringing into the field. Our scouts have reported what look like listening devices set up at key points around Warfang. Obviously, these things have to go, but the goons haven't been able to get close to them on account of the hidden spies. While you're out there, make sure to trash 'em.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spy Games
The Alliance must've got wind of this meeting and they've sent SI:7 spies to try to listen in. The problem is, they're using some kind of gnomish tech to sneak past our detectors.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tickets, Please?
There's another problem we could use your help with, <class>. Gallywix knew this meeting was going to be a big deal, so naturally he decided to sell tickets.
