Are you constantly paranoid about your opsec?

[Nights]

I'm always paranoid about what if people find out my real identity, i even considered faking my death but i didn't

I don't really know what opsec is, but it must be horrible and tiring dealing with that paranoia. Existence is just too cruel.

Opsec or operation security means protecting your data and staying anonymous especially from goverments and doxxers all the time, for example only using encrypted email services that can't be decrypted, not using social media, using fake phone numbers while registering in sites, leaving fake infos that can deceive people into thinking you're someone else and etc, it may be a bit tiring sometimes but that's better than being swatted or doxxed

Understand. I used to very paranoid about these things but it has changed to some degree over the years. Im not selling cp or drugs so im probably not a very
interesting target. When it comes to online things i keep separate identities for everything so anyone would have a hard time putting things together.

For my personal equipment I use FDE on every device and for every storage device. If that shit is powered down, nobody will know what I did with it.

As for CTB I was not very careful. Left a huge papertrail ordering things but covering that up would have been a massive undertaking.

For me i started learning about opsec after 1 year of doing cybercrime (specially discord token grabbing) but i lost interest in cybercrime, i don't expect facing legal problems since i didn't do a lot of things that could get the attention of authorities expect keylogging few kids that wanted free robux, but i find myself very paranoid about being tracked, i even considered faking my death or disappearing, it's more like paranoia than having good reasons to try to hide my identity this badly

Nice, cyber crime is like being a private investigator just for nerd stuff - always would have interested me.
I can very much relate to he idea of just disappearing - although for me this is a conceptual thing - but I couldn't justify this with my conscience regrading my family.

Hope is the worst poison of them all, at least to me.

I don't understand how non tech people feel comfortable with dark web. I'm pretty technical and still scared I would make a mistake
