The Cypriot Intelligence Service (<a href="Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>: Κυπριακή Υπηρεσία Πληροφοριών) <a href="Romanization_of_Greek" title="Romanization of Greek">romanized</a>: Kypriakí Ypiresía Pliroforión, IPA: [cipri.aˈci i.pi.reˈsi.a pli.ro.foˈrion]), abbreviated as CIS (Greek: KYP, IPA: [KIP]) is the national civilian intelligence and security agency of <a href="Republic_of_Cyprus" class="mw-redirect" title="Republic of Cyprus">Republic of Cyprus</a>. It was reorganised and given official status by a parliamentary bill of 14 April 2016. The CIS was founded in 1970 by President <a href="Archbishop_Makarios" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishop Makarios">Archbishop Makarios</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

The new Independent Authority was renamed "Cypriot Intelligence Service" from "Central Intelligence Service" and is responsible for analysis and development of intelligence collection and counterintelligence systems to create national security, civilian intelligence cybersecurity, clandestine and covert operations, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, creation a civilian security network intelligence, cyberwarfare, executive prtoection (especially the President of the Republic of Cyprus), intelligence gathering domestic and international, internal security, political warfare, protects classified informations, support irregular warfare operations, and threat assessment to national security. (i.e. a Cypriot combination of <a href="MI5" title="MI5">Security Service</a> (MI5) and <a href="MI6" title="MI6">Secret Intelligence Service</a> (MI6)).

Since 4 May 2016, the Cyprus President <a href="Nicos_Anastasiades" title="Nicos Anastasiades">Nicos Anastasiades</a> has been expected to appoint (Presidential proposal appointment by Council of Ministers) the director of the new CIS and the two sub-commanders under the new legislation (Article 7). The new law, N. 75(I) of 2016, was published in the official journal on 4 May 2016 and entered into force immediately. No appointments have been made to implement the new law. The decision was taken to continue with the old structure of the service until the necessary regulations required by the new law are enacted and also the prospect of a solution of the Cyprus Problem played a role for this decision.

Before the entry into force of the new law and to this day, the political director has been Ambassador Kyriakos Kouros and the director Marios Christofides, who is a senior police officer. The rest of the members are either police officers or members of the Cyprus National Guard placed in the CIS Headquarters in Ayios Andreas, Nicosia.

Under the new law, the CIS will be able to have its own employees either as permanent members of the intelligence services or under contract and even be able to buy services from the private sector. Its budget will be confidential and under the control of the new director.

The new CIS Law contains 35 Articles and enacts the Cypriot Intelligence Service as an independent authority accountable to the President of the Republic, currently Nikolaos Chrysanthou Anastasiades (2013-2018), and the Council of Ministers.

The current head of KYP is Tasos Tzionis, who replaced <a href="Kyriacos_Kouros" title="Kyriacos Kouros">Kyriacos Kouros</a> on June 1, 2023, with the deputy chief being Panikos Stavrou.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

The head of the Intelligence Service will also serve as an advisor to the <a href="National_Security_Council_(Cyprus)" title="National Security Council (Cyprus)">National Security Council</a> (And also co-ordinator), which was formed in 2023.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="UN_documents_leak">UN documents leak</h3></div>

The Cypriot Intelligence Service is believed to be responsible for one of the largest intelligence thefts in <a href="United_Nations" title="United Nations">United Nations</a> (UN) history, having stolen over 6,500 documents containing classified information on the UN's negotiations with the <a href="Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkish</a> and <a href="Northern_Cyprus" title="Northern Cyprus">Turkish-Cypriot</a> leaders.<a href="#cite_note-intelnews-6">[6]</a>

A Greek-Cypriot intelligence officer reportedly befriended Sonja Bachmann, a senior aide of <a href="Alexander_Downer" title="Alexander Downer">Alexander Downer</a> (who was <a href="Minister_for_Foreign_Affairs_(Australia)" title="Minister for Foreign Affairs (Australia)">Australian Foreign Minister</a> and, at the time, a senior UN adviser to the <a href="Secretary-General_of_the_United_Nations" title="Secretary-General of the United Nations">Secretary-General</a> <a href="Ban_Ki-moon" title="Ban Ki-moon">Ban Ki-moon</a>).<a href="#cite_note-intelnews-6">[6]</a>

The operation is believed to have begun around 10 September 2009, when the second round of talks was to begin. The leaked documents were originally sent to Phileleftheros under the guise that they originated from <a href="New_York_City" title="New York City">New York</a> to <a href="Disinformation" title="Disinformation">throw off</a> investigators (later determined to have originated from somewhere in <a href="Nicosia" title="Nicosia">Nicosia</a>).<a href="#cite_note-Drousiotis-7">[7]</a>

To gain the information, KYP used <a href="Hackers" class="mw-redirect" title="Hackers">hackers</a> to steal Buchmann's e-mail passwords, and then using those credentials while she was not at her hotel, officers accessed her e-mails and downloaded all her files.<a href="#cite_note-Drousiotis-7">[7]</a>

Some of the leaked files include:<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

<ul><li>A meeting between Alexander Downer and <a href="Ahmet_Davuto%C4%9Flu" title="Ahmet Davutoğlu">Ahmet Davutoğlu</a> (then <a href="Minister_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Turkey)" class="mw-redirect" title="Minister of Foreign Affairs (Turkey)">Foreign Minister of Turkey</a>)</li>

<li>A meeting between Downer and <a href="Mehmet_Ali_Talat" title="Mehmet Ali Talat">Mehmet Ali Talat</a> (Turkish-Cypriot leader)</li>

<li>A meeting in New York between <a href="B._Lynn_Pascoe" title="B. Lynn Pascoe">Lynn Pascoe</a> (then <a href="Under-Secretary-General_of_the_United_Nations" title="Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations">Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations</a> for the <a href="United_Nations_Department_of_Political_and_Peacebuilding_Affairs" title="United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs">United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs</a>) and <a href="Frank_C._Urbancic_Jr." title="Frank C. Urbancic Jr.">Frank Urbancic</a> (then <a href="List_of_ambassadors_of_the_United_States_to_Cyprus" title="List of ambassadors of the United States to Cyprus">US ambassador to Cyprus</a>)</li>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2012_Cyprus_terror_plot">2012 Cyprus terror plot</h3></div>

In 2012, Cypriot Intelligence began surveilling a Swedish-Lebanese citizen by the name of Hossam Yaakoub,<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> who was a member of the <a href="Hezbollah" title="Hezbollah">Hezbollah</a> <a href="List_of_designated_terrorist_groups" title="List of designated terrorist groups">terrorist organisation</a>, whilst he was also surveilling Israeli tourists coming into <a href="Larnaca_International_Airport" title="Larnaca International Airport">Larnaca International Airport</a> and planning a major terrorist attack (which was later discovered to involve approximately 8.5 tonnes of <a href="Ammonium_nitrate" title="Ammonium nitrate">ammonium nitrate</a> explosive).<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> His house was later raided by <a href="Cyprus_Police" title="Cyprus Police">Cyprus Police</a> who arrested him and discovered the explosives.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Surveillance_of_Espen_Barth_Eide">Surveillance of Espen Barth Eide</h3></div>

Whilst <a href="Espen_Barth_Eide" title="Espen Barth Eide">Espen Barth Eide</a> was serving as the Special Adviser for <a href="2015%E2%80%932017_Cyprus_talks" title="2015–2017 Cyprus talks">Cyprus</a>, KYP believed that Espen was a national security threat who was working to undermine the <a href="Government_of_Cyprus" class="mw-redirect" title="Government of Cyprus">Cypriot government</a> and, as a result, was placed under surveillance.<a href="#cite_note-dialogos.com.cy-12">[12]</a>

Before Eide was due to leave Cyprus, he arranged secret meeting with <a href="Andros_Kyprianou" title="Andros Kyprianou">Andros Kyprianou</a>, then leader of the <a href="Progressive_Party_of_Working_People" title="Progressive Party of Working People">communist party of Cyprus</a>, which was arranged via SMS by Kyprianou's personal secretary and Mr. Eide in secret. However, KYP had <a href="Cellphone_surveillance" title="Cellphone surveillance">tapped</a> Eide's phone and were alerted to the meeting and had set up surveillance outside the headquarters of AKEL (Cypriot communist party), where the meeting was to take place.<a href="#cite_note-dialogos.com.cy-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

A few days later, Fileleftheros published an article stating that the head of a political party was engaging in secret meetings with Eide and, as result, Mr. Kyprianou confronted <a href="President_of_Cyprus" title="President of Cyprus">President</a> Anastasiades to which the President reportedly said, "I know you may also meet with Mr. Eida, either at the party office or elsewhere" and also reportedly said to him "It is possible that the one who you meet is being watched".<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

When the press published the information about the meeting, KYP Director Kyriakos Kouros contacted Kyprianou directly and assured him that he (Kyprianou) himself was not under surveillance but that Eide was perceived as a national security threat.<a href="#cite_note-dialogos.com.cy-12">[12]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2023_June_terror_plot">2023 June terror plot</h3></div>

In late June 2023, it was reported by Cypriot media that the Cypriot Intelligence Service, in coordination with the Israel <a href="Mossad" title="Mossad">Mossad</a> and the United States <a href="Central_Intelligence_Agency" title="Central Intelligence Agency">Central Intelligence Agency</a> (CIA), foiled a series of terrorist attacks on Cypriot soil which would have allegedly been executed on behalf of the Iranian <a href="Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps" title="Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps">Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps</a> (IRGC).<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

The cell which was to execute the attack had been operating out of the occupied <a href="Northern_Cyprus" title="Northern Cyprus">north</a> of the island assuming authorities would be unable to surveil them due to the ongoing <a href="Cyprus_problem" title="Cyprus problem">conflict</a> between Cyprus and <a href="Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a>. However, this was not the case as there had been a surveillance operation in place on both sides of the <a href="United_Nations_Buffer_Zone_in_Cyprus" title="United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus">ceasefire line</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

The would-be attackers were surveilling targets, especially in the <a href="Limassol" title="Limassol">Limassol</a> district and other areas of Israeli interest.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

The Cypriot authorities managed to secure the equipment that would have been used. However, the main suspect had fled from the Turkish-occupied north but was later arrested by Mossad.<a href="#cite_note-Haaretz-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a>

The <a href="Prime_Minister_of_Israel" title="Prime Minister of Israel">Prime Minister of Israel</a>, <a href="Benjamin_Netanyahu" title="Benjamin Netanyahu">Benjamin Netanyahu</a>, thanked the Cypriot authorities for foiling the attack.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-Haaretz-19">[19]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Russian_spy_apprehension">Russian spy apprehension</h3></div>

In October 2023, after receiving intelligence from the CIA, the Cypriot <a href="Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Cyprus)" title="Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cyprus)">Ministry of Foreign Affairs</a> revoked the visa of <a href="Russia" title="Russia">Russian</a> journalist Alexander Gasyuk, who worked at the state-run <a href="Rossiyskaya_Gazeta" title="Rossiyskaya Gazeta">Rossiyskaya Gazeta</a>, for allegedly surveilling and conducting <a href="Espionage" title="Espionage">espionage</a> on targets in <a href="Nicosia" title="Nicosia">Nicosia</a>, with Nicosia's official reason citing national security concerns.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> As a result, Cypriot Intelligence followed and later apprehended the suspect who initially resisted arrest and was injured during the attempt.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Although he was later deported, Russia demanded that Cyprus apologize for the incident and the spokeswoman of the Russian <a href="Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Russia)" title="Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Russia)">Ministry of Foreign Affairs</a> <a href="Maria_Zakharova" title="Maria Zakharova">Maria Zakharova</a>, called it a provocation and a co-ordinated campaign from the West.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>
