Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6 and best known for James Bond, has turned to social media looking for sources, assets, and new recruits.

The spy agency has established overt and covert means of recruitment. It created a dark web platform called "Silent Courier" that it hopes will give individuals with access to classified information a secure means of contacting MI6.
