Britain’s MI6 has announced a move to use the dark web to recruit informants and allow them to receive secret information from agents around the world, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) announced on Friday.
The Secret Intelligence Service—Britain’s equivalent to the CIA—known in common parlance as MI6, has launched a dark web portal named “Silent Courier,” which will allow users to securely pass on information and offer their services to the service from any corner of the globe.
