Girls put spy skills to test

INTELLIGENCE chiefs are running a contest for girls to find future online spies.

Experts devised 100 challenges for 12 to 13-year-olds in the CyberFirst Girls Competition.

The National Cyber Security Centre said just 10% of the global cyber security force is female.

Skills chief Chris Ensor added: “Females are worryingly under-represented, but there are exceptionally talented girls in schools.”
