MI6 launches dark web portal to attract spies in Russia | BBC News

The UK’s MI6 is launching its own dedicated portal on the dark web in the hope of attracting new spies online, notably from Russia.

Secure messaging platform Silent Courier aims to strengthen national security by making it easier for the intelligence agency to recruit, the Foreign Office said.

Potential agents in Russia and around the world will be targeted by the UK, it adds.

On Friday, outgoing MI6 Chief Sir Richard Moore appealed to potential spies globally to anonymously access the dark web by following instructions on MI6’s own YouTube video.

In his final public speech as MI6 Chief, Sir Richard launched the worldwide recruiting drive targeting potential spies in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and elsewhere.
