MI6 launches a new dark web recruitment portal so secrets can be passed on

James Bond once described the job as a travelling 'sort of licensed troubleshooter'. But now those aspiring to join MI6 won't even need to leave their bedrooms as the service is opening a 'virtual door' for new spies. In a bid to lure agents in Russia and other hostile states, MI6 has launched a dark web recruitment portal so secrets can be passed on without anyone knowing. Known as the 'Silent Courier', MI6 hope that the dark web portal will allow intelligence about hostile states and terrorism to be shared securely without the need for any rendezvous in the shadows, perhaps signalling the end of the days of dead drops, coded messages and other traditional spy craft.
