Shin Bet spies blog for recruits

The Hebrew-language texts are sparing on details, with only silhouette portraits of the authors, whose names are withheld.

The Shin Bet's Web site now features recruitment blogs by four hi-tech spies. Israel's domestic intelligence agency shed some of its shadowy mystique three years ao when it went on-line at www.shaback.gov.il in a bid to draw new applicants. This week, the Web site got a new page - www.shin-tech.org.il - where four Shin Bet computing experts discuss what they like about their jobs. The Hebrew-language texts are sparing on details, with only silhouette portraits of the authors, whose names are withheld. Security sources said the Shin Bet hopes the blogs will help win over recruits from the private hi-tech industry.
