This seems trivial to some of you, but it has to be said. Using a new username across the web is more important than you realize today.

Some months ago I was contacted by a guy that wanted to see what information was out there about him on the internet. He was not technically inclined and had informed that he had been using the same username for nearly a decade.

Given some free time I decided to humor the fellow. I took 10 minutes and ran his username through some basic searches which returned a plethora of information, but nothing very juicy at first.

After some digging I was able to locate his Photobucket account which he must have forgotten about some years ago. As it turns out he had again, used the same username.

What he didn’t account for was that he had been automatically uploading his photos there from both his phone and his scanner. He had scanned in very sensitive documents which revealed more information than I cared to know. I found everything from his marriage license to his unredacted tax filings from previous years.

I share this story because it highlights the importance not only of good infosec but also opsec. You don’t want to be that guy, so don’t be. If I can find this information easily and openly, so can our enemies.

So don’t make it easy for them. Be a thorn in their side. Make it plausible that you are not every unique username that you create. If you get really good at it you can switch VPN connections each time you throw on a new hat. Further validating the location aspect to forums that you frequent.

Stay safe out there. Hail victory!
