OPERATION SECURITY/DISCLOSURE

OPERATION SECURITY
The writings of the following content has been tailored for your type of case specifically. It is asked of you to please pay close attention given the nature of the case, and how easily this case can be compromised if you are not careful with the security of your devices such as your smartphone, computer, papers, or any other tools you may use in regards to communication with this case. Here are a few pointers you should practice during this case:

1. PASSWORD LOCK YOUR PHONE – It is critical that you password lock your phone to avoid anyone from accessing your phone, and gaining access to any of messages that are sent to you during this process

2. CHANGE EMAIL PASSWORD – Change the password to your email. Sometimes people know, or have our passwords; but, we just don’t know it. It is better to be safe, than sorry. There have been cases that have been compromised due to family members, significant others, friends, or people accessing the email and discovering the details of the case.

3. CLEAR BROWSING DATA – Clear the browsing data on your computer anytime you access any information regarding this case. This will clear your browsing history, passwords, cache, download history. If you don’t do this, then someone can hit CTRL+H on your computer and see every page you’ve been to, and they might even be able to login if you saved your password.

4. USE GOOGLE CHROME (if possible) – Use Google Chrome as your browser given the features, but most importantly it gives you the ability to “browse incognito,” which means that it doesn’t leave any trace of your browsing history. Anytime, you want to access incognito mode you just have to press CTRL+SHITF+N simultaneously. You should see a browser pop-up with the words “You’ve gone incognito” in the middle of the page. Here is a YouTube video for visual instructions: https://youtu.be/bu5b_jYWVcQ . A lot of other browsers have the same feature, but it is suggested that you use Chrome.
