Unmasking the Australian spy who sold secrets to Russia | Four Corners

Dr.Docs' Take

Four Corners unmasks an ASIO officer who spent years secretly selling Australian, US and British secrets to the KGB while none of his colleagues suspected a thing. I love a mole story where the traitor was hiding in the security service itself. For a stretch of the Cold War, this one man was Moscow's best window into Western intelligence. Grounded, meticulous reporting on the betrayal that hid in plain sight for decades.

For years during the Cold War the KGB's only access to US and UK secrets was through an Australian spy. The ASIO mole handed over highly classified information for wads of cash, but none of his colleagues suspected a thing. After the Soviet Union's collapse, information sourced through Russian KGB defectors sparked the most extensive mole hunt in ASIO's history. Four Corners reveals the identity of the traitor, and the full extent of his betrayal.
