I can't quite remember from the books but I think the data retrieved from Mike Evans was how they first clued into the fact the trisolaran's couldn't read minds or pick up on deception, but also that Evans told them more about human nature and it spooked the trisolaran's to the point where they'd no longer communicate with evans. This discovery leads to the the Wallfacer project, and is where I found nothing was really explained about the wallfacers in the Netflix series.

I gathered that Mike Evans told the Trisolarias about fantasy and lies, which spooked the Trisolarans to the point that they no longer felt comfortable working with any humans and ceased all communications and threw all of their acolytes under the bus.
I was just a bit confused about the scene where the intelligence guys go into the game, and the Trisolarans reveal their plan. Upon reconsideration, the game was likely pre-programed and not live. Having hard drive access allowed intelligence to access the portions of the game with the plan, which had been reserved for those that made it to the final levels and were indoctrinated.
