In the current year, opsec is being used by an increasing number of everyday people to mask or spoof their online identities which are being aggressively tracked and recorded by governments and big tech.

Storing passwords in plaintext is terrible opsec.

opsec

The word "opsec" is often referred to by cheaters as how they hide their online and offline activity with their affair partner(s) from their partner (spouse) at home.

The only way to have perfect opsec, is to not cheat to begin with.

They will never find out about my affair partner because my opsec is next level.

Opsec

Opsec (Operations security) is a process that identifies, analyzes, and protects sensitive or critical information to prevent adversaries, bad guys or competitors from exploiting it. Otherwise, it makes fun of people who fail to protect private details online, or who overreact about tiny secrets while leaking major ones.

Guy: Opsec?
Pepe: What's that man? We don't care about opsec.
Guy: We post our full face and location online for the world to see.

Opsec Warrior 

An individual described as an "OPSEC Warrior" is someone dedicated to ensuring operational security, and their focus would be on preventing the compromise of sensitive information, protecting against unauthorized access, and generally maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of operational activities. This role may involve risk assessment, implementing security measures, educating others on security best practices, and actively monitoring for potential threats.

bad opsec 

A hacker's failure to practice operational security (OPSEC), leading to exposure of personally identifying information. Common mistakes include using personal information in emails that you use for black hat activity, leaving financial paper trails, not hiding your IP address properly through services like TOR and Tails, not using encryption technology such as cryptocurrency and PGP encryption -- and most importantly, failure to shut the fuck up.

Typical outcomes for a cybercriminal practicing bad opsec include getting doxed, extorted, ratted on, or worse, arrested and indicted by the federal police.

Ross Ulbricht got fucked by the feds because he exercised bad opsec. He posted a question in a clearnet forum looking for advice on programming his dark net market and urged candidates to write to a gmail containing his full name.
