Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Hello Cadets! The other day I was walking to the cafeteria when I noticed a bunch of students huddled around a laptop, laughing. Curious, I wandered over to see what was so funny. Imagine my face when I found out they were laughing at me!
Apparently, Captain Wits had uploaded an.unfortunate picture from last year's holiday party. You see, someone had spilled an entire pitcher of eggnog on the dance floor and, well, I didn't see it until it was too late. For an older gentleman, Captian Wits has great reaction time with a camera! The picture shows me just after slipping in the eggnog - my legs are up in the air and my face has this look of terror as I realize what's happening. How embarrassing! How undignified! How permanent! Captain Wits and I are no longer talking.
Let this be a lesson to you, Cadets. Before you upload any pictures of your friends and family, ask their permission. Also, remember, everything you put on the Internet is permanent! Sure, I could ask Captain Wits to take the picture down, but now the Cadets have all downloaded a copy for themselves! Some weirdo stranger could even have a copy. Creepy.
