You quoted my example about the journalist calling the source while the source is around the people she is investigating. That’s a situation the journalist should be well aware of.
I would expect journalists to have some opsec training by their newspaper/publisher given maintaining confidentiality is a given in this line of work. Even if they didn’t have such formal training, I’d expect them to pick up a few things like this with experience.
- CaptainZapp 7y agoI would expect journalists to have some opsec training by their newspaper/publisher given maintaining confidentiality is a given in this line of work. I agree. But I still think it's a tall order to expect a journalist to know every service and every app, which may violate their privacy and protect against such entities. And then there are things, which you just can't control, even being aware of them. As a for example: How do you, as a journalist, prevent that your pictures are tagged by others on Facebook?
