Russia's Intelligence Agency Hacked
- bediger4000 7y agoThe headline glosses over the fact that Russia has at least 3 main intelligence agencies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agencies_of_Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agencies_of_Russi...), although the article doesn't. Score one for dopey headline writers. This mistake lets us take note that virtually all major countries have extremely messing "intelligence communities". It's not the only irrational British thing (check out their system for rating rock climbs, for example) but the MI5/MI6/GCHQ distinction makes no sense at all, except if you want turf battles between noblemen. The US is worse, because it doesn't have an aristocracy, yet its intelligence community is organized in an even more irrational fashion.
