I don't believe that there were any organised intelligence agencies, although there may have been. I do know that none of the Intelligence agencies in the UK today existed at the time. They would definitely have used spies and informants however.
The CIA was created after World War Two. Before 1942 there was no national intelligence agency, but rather various parts of the federal govenment - the Army, Navy, Treasury Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, State Department, etc. - collected information in areas in which they were interested. These departments and agencies often didn't share or analyze this information.

Project Venona aimed to decrypt messages transmitted by Soviet intelligence agencies during and after World War II. Initiated by the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence Service in 1943, the project sought to uncover and understand Soviet espionage activities, including the infiltration of U.S. government and military institutions. The successful decryption of these messages provided critical insights into Soviet operations and helped shape U.S. intelligence efforts during the Cold War.
