Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Get Cyber Security For Their Six Kids

Celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hired a team of cyber security experts to monitor the internet activity of their six children. The six kids range from six to 13 years of age, which is a vulnerable stage in anyone’s lives, so Pitt and Jolie have decided not to take any chances.

While Brad and Angelina do admit to being “old school” themselves when it comes to online activities, they have a firm grip on how to keep their children safe in the real world. However, they are also aware of the bad things that can happen to kids online, and have decided to take serious steps towards protecting their children from the dangers of the internet.

As Angelina herself said, “It’s a scary new world” out there. She and Pitt find that what is happening on the internet is way outside of their control and what they understand and are used to. They don’t know what to look for to protect their children online, and so the couple have gone out and hired the best people to do it on their behalf. The new team of cyber security experts will monitor both the online activity of the six children as well as the social media content they are all exposed to.

As for the famous parents themselves, it seems 39-year-old Jolie has had a cyber security team in place for some time. According to Philly.com, they created her @AngelinaJolie Twitter handle for her back in 2009, which has been locked firmly in place ever since. The Twitter account follows no one and accepts no followers back. The same applies to husband Brad, with his @bradpitt account locked in a similar way.

Apart from the locked Twitter accounts, neither Pitt nor Jolie are active on social media. In fact, Angelina told People Magazine that she was so relieved social media and the internet weren’t around when she was growing up, saying she got into plenty enough trouble without it all being widely documented online.

On the subject of those six famous kids, Jolie recently bragged to People Magazine that the top chef in their household is their adopted son, Pax. Reportedly, the 11-year-old baked the Jolie-Pitt wedding cake when they tied the knot back on August 23. However, it turns out that dad is the kids’ preferred chef. According to Jolie, Pitt, who turns 51 on December 18, “makes better pancakes than Mommy.”

Whoever cooks best, at least Pitt, Jolie, and their happy family will enjoy a sense of security when the kids are online in the future.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and three of their children had to fill in for their famous mom at the Unbroken premiere, as Jolie is suffering from one of the pleasures of motherhood: chickenpox.
