How To Nail Good OPSEC IV

If not committed to sophisticated paranoia — always in learning mode — plugging holes in your
Self Defense, Situational Awareness, Physical, Digital/Social Media Security, you could find, as
one hacker did (click/tap image above) in Part 1, that taking OPSEC lightly, can be deadly. On
the one hand: “Paranoia is a skill. The secret to longevity.” And yet, advances in AI (Artificial
Intelligence) and its weaponization, is likely to render OPSEC impracticable, as full-spectrum
dominance comes to mass hi-tech surveillance in Orwellian police states, like China. It's hard
enough for most people to blend in, as former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez'd confirm.
And while I don't offer advanced personal security or OPSEC expertise for free, I'm happy to
help motivated prospects, or clients. Enhanced de-anonymization and forced DNA or organ
harvesting in China aside, DNA privacy generally speaking is now dead as law enforcement
exploits genealogy data to match suspects' DNA. So while high Strategic Deception IQ may
help, really good OPSEC begins with getting one's Advanced Privacy IQ down to a science,
Meanwhile, Bitcoin OPSEC in the free world, is as porous as it is in China. Plus, seasoned
hackers who ignore cyber security fundamentals as we've seen time & again open them
-selves to enemy exploits, law enforcement traps, Phishing/Spearphishing, SMiShing &
Catfishing as well as costly malicious sophisticated BEC (Business Email Compromise)
scams and fraud, that gets CEOs fired. Bad Compartmentation meanwhile, exposed
FBI Director James Comey. By contrast, Good OPSEC enabled Russia to weaponize
Social Media in tilting the 2016 U.S. Election. Good OPSEC will prevent you from
communicating with and giving contact details to people with bad judgment or
from doing or saying something dangerously, or irreparably stupid. Encrypted
email, chat, Data Security, Home Security & IoT Security acumen included.
Good OPSEC adapts to this virtual Panopticon we live in. That Anonymity
is like a Chinese counterfeit product: better sold for business gain than
used. As for Tor? Complicated but put simply, don't trust it. If you're a
journalist, activist, lawyer, senior exec, celebrity, company, or just
an average Joe or Jane, don't be naive. Be threat smart. Don't go
slapping your real name especially as it appears on passport or
other official documents/credit cards everywhere. Although
Grugq in Part 1's right about powerful nation-states having
the resources to get you if really determined, reading up
on Privacy, Security, Digital Forensics; otherwise invest
-ing in your own security will teach how to think and
live like a situationally aware 007 or Jason Bourne
knowing where every camera is upon entering a
place or in real life as elusive as Mayweather,
— evading detection, law enforcement; and
practicing top-notch Account Security and
Twitter Security for activists/HNWI/HVT.
High net worth individuals & high value
targets that is. Plus, Responsible Use.
In the Age of the Leak, OPSEC's also
about not being on tape or letting
hacked IoT devices eavesdrop or
data farmers/advertisers track
you. OPSEC is not just about
encrypted communications
but about TNO (Trust No
One), need-based Zero
ance & discipline.
