What do spies need




















Cover your tracks. Make sure you and your teammates don't leave anything behind. Destroy any footprints on dirt or mud, and destroy any accidental fingerprints if you notice some. All papers at the scene should be recycled and definitely no clothing or anything else personal left for curious eyes to find.

Cover your digital tracks, too. Delete any text messages, emails, or phone calls made about the mission. Though it's likely no one will see these, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Rendezvous after the mission with your team. There should be a meeting place after the mission to gather information from each team member. The team should then brainstorm, determining if another mission is necessary or if this one can be considered case closed.

If members don't show up, return to your posts and try to find where the missing member is. If necessary, get out of spy mode and go looking for them openly. Have one or two people stay at the base in case they come back on their own. Part 4.

Store any information in a secure place. Make sure you put it in a place no one will think of to go but you. But you also want a place that's easy to remember. Try a locked box or a password-protected computer. Are there are secret locations in or around your house, like under a loose floor board, that no one knows about but you? This also makes good storage space. Don't avoid the enemy; if you do, they'll think something's up. Try your best to act normal and make sure you meet as if nothing happened.

If you've discovered information that they need to know like which dog is digging up the yard , present this information as calmly and as casually as possible. You didn't go on a secret ops mission with your team — you just happened to be walking by when you saw Mr. Fluffy doing the deed. Have an alibi ready. Or if you get asked later where you were while you were gone, be ready with details. You sure don't want to be caught spying!

Keep it as close to the truth as possible. Say something like, "I was there out with my friends your team and we were playing a game in the park. It's like hide and seek, but advanced. It's too difficult to explain; there are lots of rules. You wouldn't like it anyway. Only friends who are being initiated into the program should be told about your activities.

Otherwise, keep it secret and low key. Some might be jealous and some might blab your secret. The fewer people who know, the better. Be careful in initiating in new team members. Make sure they're trustworthy and up to the challenge before they become a spy kid with you. Your team needs to be all top-notch, honest, talented spies. What do you carry all your equipment in? Do you take it with you or do you leave it? If you're a girl, a purse or backpack should work; not to big though. If you're a boy, a backpack that is not too big to be noticed is ideal.

Equipment should be small, such as a phone or video recorder that can be put in your pocket, a small journal, a mini pencil, and a walkie talkie that can be clipped to a bracelet, shoe, or pants.

Cyber espionage involves using computer systems to steal classified information, often government secrets. Those secrets might be sensitive data related to foreign policy, military technology, or even personal information about individuals. Espionage has been carried out for millennia, but technology has made it possible for hackers sometimes sponsored by governments to steal secrets quickly, silently, and with relatively low risk of being caught.

Intelligence agencies, however, are increasingly aware of the cyber threat and are developing new counter measures. Find out more about cyber espionage in the Cyber: The New Battlefield exhibit. During times of war, espionage against a nation is a crime under the legal code of many nations as well as under international law, and cyber espionage is no different.

During peacetime, however, it can be a lot trickier to figure out when espionage crosses the line into illegality—all the more so for cyber spying. Where, in fact, does territorial sovereignty begin and end in cyberspace?

These are just some of the questions being debated in international law regarding cyber espionage.
