FBI Special Agent Visits Nicosia Schools

March 12-13 , 2008

While the internet provides great benefits to everyone—especially children—it can pose some dangers for them too, which is why it is critical for parents, caregivers and educators—the world over—to know everything there is to know about possible hazards and how to help children avoid them. While on assignment in Nicosia, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Byron Militello did several presentations for local students, parents and teachers on cyber security and internet safety. Special Agent Militello used real examples from his experience in fighting cyber-crime and child exploitation in his discussions, including with students from the Junior and Senior Schools on March 12 and 13. In his talks, he provided practical tips on how to identify and avoid potential dangers on the internet and applauded the work of the newly established Cyprus Police Task Force handling cyber crimes on the island.
