Category:Named on Cryptome MI6 lists
People named on the lists of alleged MI6 officers published by Cryptome in 1999 and 2005. Inclusion is not evidence of intelligence service.
This category contains Powerbase pages on people whose names appear on the lists of alleged Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) officers published by the website Cryptome between May 1999 and October 2005. The page Cryptome MI6 lists describes the lists, their origins and their reliability, and names everyone on them.
Being in this category means only that a person's name appears on one or more of these lists. It does not mean that Powerbase says the person worked for MI6. The lists were anonymous, and Cryptome itself said of the first one that it "may be genuine, a folly or a black op". In 1999 the Foreign Secretary said that "not all the names" were connected with SIS. In 2005 the Foreign Office said that "quite a few people on that list are Foreign Office staff and nothing else", and that it neither confirms nor denies such lists.[1][2][3]
Where other reliable sources show that a person worked for MI6, those sources are cited on the person's own page, and the page may also be in Category:MI6. In all other cases a page in this category should say only that the person was "named on lists published by Cryptome in [year] as alleged MI6 officers", with the caveat above.
