Indian intelligence recruitment remains anachronistic

11 Oct 2024

The CIA’s recent public drive to recruit informants in North Korea, Iran, and China on the internet and dark web has been met with mainly positive reception in Western strategic circles. Announced a year after similar public efforts by the US intelligence community to attract disillusioned Russian citizens, the initiative reflects a new phase in the world of intelligence. In today’s increasingly competitive and globally connected age, espionage services are embracing newer modes of transparency, from expanding the scope for strategic intelligence disclosure as a means of coercive statecraft to the online recruitment of agents in adversary States.
