CIA launches Telegram effort asking Russians to share information with US
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has launched a Telegram account to recruit Russian assets and facilitate secure contact with the U.S. agents.
“CIA’s global mission requires that individuals be able to contact us securely from anywhere in the world,” reads a notice in English on the agency’s Telegram page, titled “Securely Contacting CIA.” “That’s why, for the first time, CIA is establishing a presence on Telegram — to reach those who feel compelled to engage CIA and ensure they know how to do so as securely as possible.”
“If you’re considering reaching out to CIA, please review the materials on this channel: we value those willing to talk with us, and your safety is our priority,” the agency added.
