When Ed Gibson came into our school, some classes during form period sat in a session with him and learnt about 3 main things:
- SPAM
- Social Networking
- FBI Life
When Ed was talking about SPAM he mentioned things that a lot of us had not heard of. He talked about compromising computers and he also talked about when the computer asks for personal details in a SPAM email/offer. He also said you should be careful when opening emails you don’t know because they could lure you into subscribing to things that may damage your computer.
Social networking is not always safe, Ed told us to always set your profile to private because people you don’t know could find things out about you that you don’t want them to know.
The average age of people joining the FBI is 31 years old. When Ed joined the FBI, he had to take a polygraph test (lie detector) before working on a case in 1995. It turned out that the case he was assigned to was about a friend he met and had worked with for over 10 years. This person was Earl Pitts, a SPY! It was found out that he was giving out information that was not permitted to the Russians . He was sent to the SuperMax (maximum security) prison in Colorado.
