Revealed: “Miss Matrix” fraud

The allure of MI5 work is never reflected in the reality of it, but it’s enough for some to get too close and to get burned. This has never been truer than in recent times, as a number of female applicants formed a “Miss Matrix” group in the early stages of their interviews. It led to ignorance during training and later mistakes in their work. They were all decommissioned but it just goes to show that sometimes fiction rubs up against fact too closely.
