""Now we can make those connections even more securely online using our upgraded dark web portal, Silent Courier," the narrator continues. "Benefiting from the anonymity built into Tor, Silent Courier allows anyone, anywhere in the world to make safe direct contact with MI6.""
"If accessing Tor is not possible - some nations block it - MI6 suggests using a free trial of a commercial VPN to reach its Contact Us form, and providing an email address you establish just for chats with spies. Don't use a credit card when signing up for that VPN, or any information that could identify you, friends, or family. Do obtain a clean device that's up to date with recent patches, and use a browser's incognito mode to prevent recording a browsing history."
"MI6 revealed the portal in a late Thursday statement that reportedly included a quote from Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who said the portal will help "recruit new spies for the UK - in Russia and around the world." Instructions for interested spies appeared earlier today in eight languages on MI6's new YouTube channel in a video that opens with an unidentified narrator saying "For over a hundred years, the bedrock of MI6's work has been face to face. Meeting, sharing insights, making connections.""
MI6 launched a dark web contact portal called Silent Courier accessible via Tor to receive secure tips from foreign informants. The agency published multilingual instructions and a YouTube video guiding potential sources on secure contact methods. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the portal will help recruit spies in Russia and around the world. MI6 provided the .onion address and recommended using a VPN if Tor is blocked, creating anonymized email accounts, avoiding identifying payment methods, using a patched clean device, and private browsing. The portal invites anyone with sensitive information on global instability or hostile intelligence activity to contact MI6, which will carefully consider submissions.
