US spies and informants could have been directed to hostile nations through a CIA mistake made on X.
A cyber-security researcher has exploited a glitch on the CIA's official Twitter account, to hijack a channel used for recruiting spies.
The CIA is a US government organisation known for gathering secret intelligence information, often over the internet, from a vast network of spies and tipsters around the world The channel said, in Russian: "Our global mission demands that individuals be able to reach out to CIA securely from anywhere," while warning potential recruits to "be wary of any channels that claim to represent the CIA".But a flaw in how X displays some links meant the full web address had been truncated to https://t.me/securelycont - an unused Telegram username.
