Escape from Brook Green... well sort of!

Today we welcomed DC Tamsyn May and Craig Lang from the Cyber Choices team at Devon and Cornwall Police to talk about cyber security and computer misuse. 

Students were tasked with completing an escape room mission to crack into DCI Nicola Crooks' laptop and solve the clues as to who had hacked her emails. It was a great way of getting students to think about the information that is posted online and how it could be used as part of a password but also about giving other people permission to use your devices and assumed versus confirmed consent (for example, I give my friend my computer to check an email which is confirmed consent but my friend then logs onto my social media account which I had not consented to). 

Huge well done to Stella and Dylan who cracked the case with 9 minutes and 30 seconds to spare!
