Intelligence agency GCHQ has launched an online code-cracking game in a bid to track down the spies of the future.

The service, which works with MI5 and MI6, has set up a website which hosts a Matrix-style code, as it attempts to look beyond traditional methods of recruitment.

Visitors to the site - which has no GCHQ branding - are faced with seemingly meaningless rows and columns of numbers and letters, and given seven hours to come up with the hidden keyword.

Anyone successfully unearthing the word will be redirected to the GCHQ recruitment website, where they will be able to apply for jobs suited to their skills.

Interest in the campaign is being generated through social media websites, where the agency hopes to tap into a new generation of self-taught hackers to help tackle cyber crime.

A GCHQ spokesperson said: "The digital arena is fast moving and, from a recruitment perspective, we acknowledge the need to engage with prospective candidates in new and innovative ways.

"With this marketing initiative, we hope to reach out to a broader audience, who may not be attracted to traditional advertising methods.

"We also hope that the code-breaking challenge will help increase awareness of GCHQ's mission and the important role it plays in safeguarding the nation."

The organisation is looking to recruit around 35 spies, ideally with knowledge of unusual languages, as well as the code-breaking skills.

The game will be online until December 12.

For interest's sake
No bigotry or malice.
Which CIOs did you meet and refer to here.
Ken Flower et al
or Bonyongwe et al.

Every attempt to penetrate: What did the wiki-rikis say about the CIO? Everyone is talking to the CIA right infront of them and they don't have a clue whats going on!

CIO! Zvidhakwa izvi.

Code Cracked !

Some 15yr old internet geeks solved this in minutes.

Britain is now useless, they cant even set a decent puzzle

Very embarrasing from a country that produced the likes of Turing.

You just hav to look at current Brits like David Cameron, thats what they call their best from Oxbridge, they say he is highly 'intelligent' ....
