MI6 Goes Digital: Silent Courier to Recruit Global Spies via Dark Web

The UK's MI6 has launched 'Silent Courier,' a new dark web platform intended to recruit spies globally, focusing on Russia. The platform allows individuals with sensitive information to securely contact MI6. This initiative reflects a significant increase in defence capabilities to bolster national security and counter hostile threats.

The UK's intelligence agency, MI6, has unveiled 'Silent Courier,' a dark web portal designed to recruit global spies. The initiative aims at individuals with critical information to partner with Britain in its intelligence efforts, particularly targeting Russia.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office emphasized the platform's role as part of a 'generational uplift' in defence spending. By leveraging the dark web, MI6 intends to maintain Britain's edge against evolving global threats.

The new platform's approach mirrors similar tactics by the CIA, reinforcing strong US-UK defense ties. With advancements like Google Cloud partnerships, the UK strives to outpace adversaries in the cybersecurity and intelligence arenas.
