Lists of alleged MI6 officers published by the Cryptome website in 1999 and 2005. The lists are anonymous and unverified.

The Cryptome MI6 lists are four lists of people alleged to be officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, better known as MI6). The website Cryptome, run by John Young, published them between May 1999 and October 2005:

  • 13 May 1999: 116 names.[1]
  • 21 August 2005: 74 names.[2]
  • 27 August 2005: 121 names.[3]
  • 13 October 2005: 49 entries, 29 of them new.[4]

On 28 August 2005 Cryptome combined the first three as "276 Unique Names of MI6 Officers".[5]

The lists have never been authenticated. The Foreign Office said in 1999 and again in 2005 that some of those named were not SIS staff. It is government policy neither to confirm nor deny such lists.[6][7]

A name's appearance on these lists is not evidence that the person worked for MI6. On Powerbase, a person is said to have served in SIS only where a separate, reliable source supports it, and that source is cited.

The 1999 list

The first list was published by Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), the magazine of the Lyndon LaRouche movement. It appeared in an article about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, online around 10 May 1999 and in the issue dated 14 May. EIR said it had received the list as an anonymous e-mail, credited to "an honest man who had left MI6", and that it could not independently authenticate many of the details. The e-mail made allegations about Diana's death that have never been substantiated, and Powerbase does not repeat them.[1] EIR's editor Peter Sigerson later said the web version had been withdrawn on legal advice after a request from the British government, but that about 9,000 printed copies had already been sent out.[8]

The list was reposted on Usenet on 11 May 1999.[9] Cryptome published it on 13 May with the warning: "No authentication; may be genuine, a folly or a black op."[1] A D-Notice asking British media not to publish the names was issued on 12 May.[10]

Foreign Secretary Robin Cook blamed the former SIS officer Richard Tomlinson. Cook said that "not all the names" were connected with SIS, but that "the release of any such list, however inaccurate it may be, is a deeply irresponsible and dangerous act".[6] Tomlinson denied any involvement. He said he had posted only his own affidavit, which named nine officers, and described the list as not "particularly accurate".[11][12] Mohamed Al-Fayed also denied involvement.[13] Guardian Weekly reported that some of those named were Foreign Office diplomats with no connection to MI6.[14]

The 2005 lists

On 21 August 2005 Cryptome posted a second list of 74 names. The list was credited only to "A.", with a link to a Usenet discussion.[2] The Guardian reported that 18 of the people named had held the rank of ambassador, and that Croatian newspapers had earlier named alleged officers working in the Balkans.[15] A third list of 121 names, credited to "A2", followed on 27 August.[3]

Cryptome marked with an asterisk those names it had found in the Foreign Office's own HM Diplomatic Service Overseas Reference List (August 2005). The asterisk shows only that the person was a serving diplomat.[5] The Foreign Office called the publication "extremely irresponsible" and said: "Quite a few people on that list are Foreign Office staff and nothing else."[7] It said that it neither confirms nor denies such lists.[16]

A fourth list followed on 13 October 2005, again credited to "A.". It had sections headed "Eastern Adriatic Countries" and "MI6 Officers – Her Majesty's Ambassadors", and 29 of its 49 entries were new.[4] No reliable source has identified who compiled the 2005 lists.

The 2005 lists came after reports in the Balkan press. In 2004 the Sunday Times reported that Anthony Monckton had been exposed in Serbia,[17] and the Zagreb weekly Nacional named several alleged officers.[18]

Later notes on the Cryptome page

Cryptome later added two corrections to the combined page:

  • 23 January 2006: a correspondent said that "Paul Cronton" should read "Paul Crompton".
  • 22 February 2006: a correspondent said that "Mark Williams" and Kenneth Mark Williams were the same person. Cryptome merged the two, reducing its count to 275.[5]

The 2006 Russian television allegations

In January 2006 Cryptome also posted an item about a Russian state television programme. In the programme, people presented as officers of the Federal Security Service (FSB) accused staff of the British embassy in Moscow of espionage, including the use of a transmitter hidden in an imitation rock. The programme named four British embassy staff: Marc Doe, Christopher Pirt, Paul Crompton and Andrew Fleming (given in one Russian report as "Andre Fleming"). It also accused Doe of authorising payments to Russian non-governmental organisations. None of the four appears on any of the Cryptome lists.[5][19] The Foreign Office said that it was "concerned and surprised", and it rejected "any allegation of improper conduct in our dealing with Russian NGOs".[19] In 2012 Jonathan Powell, formerly Tony Blair's chief of staff, said that the "spy rock" had been real. He did not comment on the four people named.[20]

Reliability

The lists mix people whose SIS careers are now on the public record with others. Those on record include four Chiefs of SIS: David Spedding, Richard Dearlove, John Scarlett and Alex Younger, plus Richard Moore, who later became Chief. Others are career diplomats with no reported link to SIS. Some entries give no details, or garble or truncate names. One 1999 entry carries an abusive comment, which Powerbase does not reproduce.

A count of the four lists finds 302 different people:

  • The first three lists contain 311 entries. Cryptome counted 35 duplicates among them, but there are 37: Michael Roger Fox and Andrew Jeremy Stafford each appear on two lists without being counted.
  • That leaves 274 unique names, or 273 after the Mark Williams merge.
  • The fourth list adds 29 new names, making 302.

People named on the lists

Inclusion in this table means only that the person's name appears on one or more of the Cryptome lists. Where the third column is blank, or gives only a public diplomatic or civil-service career, Powerbase does not state or imply that the person worked for MI6. Where the column reports SIS service, the claim is attributed to the source cited. The "List(s)" column gives the date of each list on which the name appears. Dates of birth and postings given in the lists are not reproduced here.
