If you are by your computer when you are attacked by a Quantum with Supercomputer attack:

Your machine will go in a short Reboot but will recover where you left off.
Your SSD/Hard-Disk will go nuts because THEY are uploading.

What THEY are trying to do is break your encryption by looking for KNOWN files that were encrypted with that key. Take action and don't delay.

I usually wipe the disks and change all the keys. Consider encrypting a KNOWN file like an OS download with a different encryption. I usually store this type of crap on a different disk.

I'm curious if you've ever experienced your computer heating up or electrically shocking you when looking up politically incorrect subjects. I've asked all my tinfoil hat friends, and they're puzzled about it. It only happens when I'm on a 5-eyes/9-eyes/14-eyes network. Otherwise it's fine. And it only happens when I'm reading about those subjects for an extended period of time.

Operations Security

What is OPSEC?

Operations Security, or OPSEC, OPSEC is about minimizing attack surfaces and single points of failure through proper habits and policies. It's a systematic and proven process that we can use to deny adversaries information they need to do us harm or interrupt our plans. It's also a mindset that can be applied to any mission or plan.

Although the term originated in the military, OPSEC is now used for so much more. This includes law enforcement, computer and network security, home safety, travel, and so much more.

OPSEC isn't a list of rules, and it's not as simple as using a VPN and keeping your mouth shut. It includes elements of INFOSEC, APPSEC, NETSEC, COMSEC[TRANSEC/SIGSEC/EMSEC], PHYSEC[PERSEC], and (CO)INTEL.

THE OPSEC PROCESS

Identify the information you need to protect
Analyze the threats
Analyze your vulnerabilities
Assess the risk
Apply countermeasures

Understand your own risk/threat model: Who is your adversary? What needs protecting?

The OPSEC Two-Step: Know what to protect and know how to protect it.
