#OPSEC365 172/365 Smart glasses put always-on cameras at eye level in public spaces. Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Snap Spectacles, and similar devices record video and audio from the wearer's view. The people around them often don't realize they're being recorded. Social norms haven't caught up with tech that turns every face in a room into a surveillance device. Ray-Ban Meta's recording LED is a grain of rice, easy to miss at six feet. #OPSEC365

#OPSEC365 169/365 Smart home platforms log every command and interaction. Lights turned on, locks engaged, thermostats adjusted. The complete history of your home automation sits in the cloud. When you went to bed, when you left, how long you were gone. These patterns are open to the platform provider and to law enforcement. When you turned off the lights, locked the door, and left, it's all recorded with a timestamp. #OPSEC365

#OPSEC365 168/365 Your dash cam records audio inside your car. Many dash cams default to recording both video and interior audio. Conversations about work, arguments with passengers, phone calls on speaker, and anything else said in the car gets captured alongside the footage. Most dash cams default to recording interior audio. Every phone call on speaker and every argument with a passenger is captured alongside the footage. #OPSEC365

Monero transactions look exactly like this to every government, corporation, and surveillance company watching.

Harmful to the banking system sounds like the best investment thesis available.

Researchers pulled a 256-bit key out of a device by filming its power LED. The status light flickers with the chip's power draw, and that leaks the key. A full ECDSA key was recovered from 16m away through a window via a hijacked camera. https://www.nassiben.com/video-based-crypta

To reach your IP the attacker needs: a thousand high speed Tor relays plus five thousand fake Monero nodes, all aimed at one person, and the paper still only gives them a 46 percent shot.

If your money came with a nutrition label you'd stop using it.

People reach the service without ever learning where it lives. That is the hidden part of hidden service.

Every paper published against Monero makes the next version harder to break. The attacks are free auditing.

#OPSEC365 151/365 Streaming recommendations reveal your household's viewing patterns. Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ build detailed profiles of what your family watches, when, and for how long.

The same people who call Monero shady will defend a coin that reports them to four agencies before breakfast.

Darknet vendors figured out Bitcoin was a honeypot around 2017, the rest of crypto is still catching up.

The government cannot tell you how many federal laws exist. The Justice Department spent two years trying and stopped. You are not following all of them.

Nobody broke Monero's cryptography. They found a node that talked too much, and the devs fixed it in December 2024.

#OPSEC365 140/365 Phones in gym locker rooms are recording devices everyone ignores. People scroll their phones while changing, and those phones have cameras. Gym mirror selfies often capture other people in the background. The social norm against locker room recording doesn't prevent it from happening constantly. Be aware of who has a phone out when you're in spaces where you expect privacy. #OPSEC365

When one XMR hits six figures, you'll be pricing things in nanoneros and the math will still work.
