MI6 Goes Dark with Recruiting Spies | Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-Up

Espionage is evolving fast — and this week’s episode of Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-Up takes you inside the latest threats and innovations shaking the intelligence world.

From MI6’s bold leap into the dark web with its Silent Courier spy recruitment portal, to CSIS and RCMP’s warning that outdated Canadian laws are undermining counterterrorism and espionage investigations, this episode breaks down the global intelligence landscape you need to know about.

Neil Bisson — retired CSIS intelligence officer and Director of the Global Intelligence Knowledge Network — analyzes this week’s most urgent cases of espionage, sabotage, terrorism, and foreign interference.

🔎 Key questions answered in this episode:

  • How could a massive telecom network near the UN General Assembly have been weaponized?
  • Why did Britain’s outgoing spy chief call out Russia, China, Iran, and Islamist extremism?
  • What does MI6’s Silent Courier portal mean for the future of spy recruitment?
  • Why was an Austrian energy executive fired over Russian espionage links?
  • How is China infiltrating Taiwan’s democratic institutions?
  • What does the indictment of an American and Israeli spying for Iran reveal about global HUMINT?
  • Why are Canada’s laws leaving it vulnerable to foreign interference?
