The worst situation I've heard of was people converting Google equipment from paying customers at location. All the cell phones were hacked, mic and camera turned on. There were calls with various ring tones to calibrate the mics.

This was not the first Dog and Pony show for these people and they competed with Google insults read by Orca for a few hours until Google caught on.

I only clash with Google rarely due to misunderstandings and I do not considered them evil, Just Slight Negative.

Google isn't evil at all, except for the fact that they target you with advertisements, collect data in shady ways, and violate privacy by every means conceivable, lol. And I'm sure that there isn't anything worse than that that they do without burying it under the legalese in their terms or service and privacy policy.

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.
