update- Here are some stories why we care about OPSEC

I was trying to look for that one post about PERSEC and that lady getting attacked because of pieces of info she put on the internet.... I think maybe Ojo or Tx or someone posted it maybe a couple months back. I am searching but not coming up with anything.

Maybe posting that again would help illustrate why we care about PERSEC. or if anyone comes up with other examples, you could share those too.

Re: update- Here are some stories why we care about OPSEC

  • I found the post

    http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/58342167.aspx

    and here one story - contained in about post

    http://www.kfor.com/news/local/kfor-authorities-warn-military-families-of-cruel-hoax-20110922,0,4102043.story

     

    These are reasons why we care, lurkers or newbies. Not to be mean and rude b*tches. Because for some strange reason, we care about protecting others. Ok? Its because Crazy assshit happens out there in the world. Yes, we know its not probable, but the fact is it is possible, and everyone should have that knowledge and protect themselves. It is not stupid to care about personal safety, and it is not stupid to help others protect theirs. Yeah, we might look like the "persec/opsec police" but trust me when I say it is coming from a good place.

  • If you dont click on that link or read anything else, read this story from tx

    imageiluvmytxrgr:

    A woman whose H is in my H's RGT but different BTN was a regular poster on another forum. I'm sure you can guess which one. She never posted a lot of info at once but posted enough bits and pieces that someone was able to figure out who she was and where she lived.

    While her H was deployed, a man showed up at her door in uniform and told her her H had been killed. When she let him inside, he beat her, raped her and left her for dead. She lived and managed to call the police. By the time the police got there, he had cashed over $1000 worth of checks and made a bunch of charges on her credit card.

  • I'm pretty sure that this happened before my lurking days, so I've only read about it, but I believe there a poster on another board who got fired because another crazy poster/lurker called her work. Now that's some psycho stuff there.
  • OPSEC: A gunman opened fire after he engaged two Airmen in conversation and the Airmen confirmed they were on their way downrange. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-03-02/world/germany.shooting_1_military-bus-shooting-incident-bus-driver?_s=PM:WORLD

  • Let's not forget deployed husband's being contacted, people being robbed, so on and so forth.  There are way too many cases out there that can be sited.  I'm sure BLT could tell you some stories, too.  Heck, a class she took creeped her out so much, she stopped posting and deleted her FB for a long time. 

    It's ok, if you think it can't happen to you, keep putting your info out there.  There are way too many crazy people out there.
