British Intelligence Seeking Xbox Gamers

British Intelligence Seeking Xbox Gamers

In its endless search for new talents, MI5 and MI6-linked UK government intelligence organization, GCHQ, has decided to run a 6-weeks ad campaign on Xbox LIVE.

The campaign, which will run on Xbox Live's Dashboard and in-game, through streamed video banners, draws parallels between skills and experience required in gameplay - like "quick thinking, problem solving and team work" - and those required to work with agency.

Although not explicitly stated, it is reasonable to expect the ad campaign to be available in the UK only.

GCHQ describes its work as "helping government departments, such as the Ministry of Defense, to protect their information and communication systems."
