Killing with Keyboards/ Good OPSEC Brief

[Pags]

As always, remember that it's only a lot of reading if you do it

relearning the hard lessons of high school english?

Had this sent to me and I thought it was a very appropriate little powerpoint for these boards.

I tried to upload it, but since its extension is a .pps as opposed to .ppt, I couldn't. This link here though will show you it.

Don't mean to be "that guy," but I thought it was important and makes sense for a forum like we have.

That kind of stuff only happens to Eagles fans.

Related to OPSEC, it’s amazing what kind of intelligence can be derived from open source information. I will not comment on the veracity of their claims, I’m posting this to show how little work is required by a keyboard warrior with access to flight aware to track you when you are squawking, and then tie it into current, slightly overdramatized, news.

Not what I call a valid source of news, but it is headed across FB today, where a shit ton of Millenials get their news...

Practice good OPSEC!!

Describe what "swoop" means. I'd like to see that.

It’s classified. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.

It’s a maneuver that looks like the Nike logo.

Oh, wait, that’s “swoosh.” Po-tay-to, po-taa-to.

Never underestimate the ability of a bunch of nerds to track and document every movement of a bird, train, airplane, satellite, etc.

The internet makes it easier but even before then planespotters kept a very close and detailed track of aircraft registration numbers/BUNO's, noted movement and discrepancies then spread the word.

Jesus, it’s a Russian AGI off our own coast. Same one that swings by oh, I dunno, every year. This is hardly an OPSEC emergency.

Reminds me of the ships company folks losing their mind over port call dates. Never mind the hundreds of folks at husbanding agencies, shipyard workers, etc, who know our exact availability.

I wasn’t stating that this exact issue was an OPSEC “emergency,” rather it was a reminder of how easy public source information can easily be processed into actionable intelligence.

Critical reading, it’s a thing.

But did the crew get the qual? I mean, come on, READINESS!!!

It doesn't matter what you meant...he was going to say what he wanted to anyway.

Fact.........has been for decades. Just look up the London Times crossword puzzles prior to operation Overlord.
