Photos of your home reveal more than you think. The Zoom background shows your bookshelf and your art. The new-couch photo includes the street through the curtains. Each detail helps someone build a picture of where you live. Scan the frame before you post.

Taking a call in public means everyone around you is in the meeting. The coffee shop hears your deal, the airport gate hears your medical results, the elevator hears you giving a delivery service your address. Glance around next time and notice who's listening.

The military calls it a Critical Information List. OPSEC step one is identifying which data points, if collected, would degrade your ability to operate safely. Most people skip this and jump straight to countermeasures they don't actually need.

Every package you order links your name to your address forever. Amazon orders, supplements you'd rather keep private, gifts that reveal your relationship status. A database somewhere connects your identity to your home and most of them never needed it.
#OPSEC365 014/365
List everyone who has a key to your home right now. Family, the ex who never gave it back, the neighbor watching your place, the cleaner, the property manager. Each one is an entry point you don't control. If you can't name them all, you've lost track.

Alcohol kills the filter between what you know and what you say. The classified project, the friend's divorce, the coworker you can't stand. After a few drinks those leak to whoever's next to you at the bar. Notice next time what almost slipped.
#OPSEC365 012/365
Your car says more about you than you think. The parking permit reveals where you work. The bumper stickers list your politics, your kids' schools, your gym. The pattern of where you park tells anyone watching where you'll be tomorrow.
#OPSEC365 011/365
Google your full name in quotes. Data brokers, old forum posts, voter records, that 10K you ran in 2014. Most people have no idea how much of their history is indexed. Whatever shows up on page one is what your adversary finds first.
#OPSEC365 010/365
Your phone logs every call you make and the duration of each one. Even with encrypted apps, your carrier knows who you contacted, when, and for how long. Pull up the call history and imagine someone mapping your relationships from it.
#OPSEC365 009/365
Your trash tells a story every week. Pill bottles with your name, bank statements, shipping labels with your address, receipts showing where you shop. Anyone willing to dig builds a full profile without breaking a single law.
#OPSEC365 008/365
Everyone has an adversary, whether they realize it or not. An ex who won't let go, a competitor hunting for an edge, a scammer building a target list, a future employer searching your name. Write down the three most likely.
#OPSEC365 007/365
Mother's maiden name lives on genealogy sites. First pet's name is in some 2012 Facebook post. High school mascot is one Google search away. The questions guarding your most important accounts are answerable by anyone willing to spend ten minutes on you.
#OPSEC365 006/365
Vacation photos posted from vacation tell the world your house is empty. Timestamp, location, caption all confirm it. Save the photos and post them when you get home. Try resisting the urge to broadcast your absence in real time.
#OPSEC365 005/365
Right now your front window is showing the street packages with your name, expensive gear, and a routine on repeat. Step outside and look at your home like someone casing it. Notice what you've been advertising for free.
#OPSEC365 004/365
The people closest to you are your worst OPSEC liability. Mom geotags family photos and your ex still knows the answers to all your security questions. Name the five people who could expose the most about you without even trying.
#OPSEC365 003/365
Your bank knows where you eat, what you buy, and when you travel. So does anyone with a breach, a subpoena, or a curious employee. Pull up last month's transactions and read them like a stranger profiling you. The patterns jump off the page.
#OPSEC365 002/365
A week of watching your routine tells someone exactly when your house is empty. Same coffee, same route, same parking spot. You're broadcasting a schedule. Pick one thing tomorrow and change it just to prove you can.
#OPSEC365 001/365
