OPSEC
acronymdark websecurityprivacy
Stands for: operations security
The discipline of protecting the small pieces of information that together reveal too much.
Operations security is about controlling metadata and habits, not just secrets: a username reused, a timestamp, a photo's location. A single item is harmless; the aggregate deanonymizes. For defenders and researchers alike, good OPSEC is mostly consistency.
