MI5 failed to stop Melita Norwood from betraying Britain and our partners, she passed nuclear secrets to Stalin whilst working for the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association her treachery wasn't discovered until Vasili Mitrokhin defected 1992. She spied for the USSR for 40 years undetected.
Due to her advanced age, she wasn't prosecuted, (wrong decision in my opinion, but there you go) she died of old age in 2005.
Her information sped up the soviet nuclear weapons programme by two years.
