British spy agency MI6 is launching a dark web portal called Silent Courier, allowing it to recruit informants securely and share secret information with agents worldwide. The move aims to stay one step ahead of adversaries in the face of increasing global threats. MI6 will post instructions on how to use the portal on its YouTube channel. The new strategy marks a shift towards using technology to bolster recruitment efforts, particularly in Russia and other countries.
