“identifying up to 60,000 informants”

As far as I understand they released different kind of documents, and some of them might be agents’. But at this point I don’t think it is feasible to accurately differentiate who was agent and who only an informant.

The title of the article is "up to 60,000 former agents revealed"

It’s a mistranslation of the Hungarian ügynök, which can indeed mean agent, but not necessarily. Here it means informant/source.

I appreciate the title is wrong, but no reason not to add the correct context.

Yes, and the first sentence used the word “informants”. See my comment above.
