Apparently this is for real. MI-5, England’s national security service, is using Facebook to recruit spies to join its intelligence agency.
“The Secret Intelligence Service’s open recruitment campaign continues to target wide pools of talent representative of British society today,” an MI-5 spokesman told G4 today. “A number of channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organisation. Facebook is a recent example.”
By the way, there’s a great spy show on the BBC called MI-5 (called “Spooks” in the U.K.) that I highly recommend. You can get it on Netflix.
Nerd note: The character James Bond is a spy for MI-6, which handle’s the country’s foreign intelligence.
