Hello there, i will try my best to explain it simply: OpSec means operational security, meaning trying to be as anonymous as possible while beeing online, using VPN or Tor and stuff like that. we have some awesome threads in this Forum, i am sure you will find good stuff and welcome to the community ✌

Opsec is basically just making sure you don’t share too much personal info online so people can’t mess with you or find out stuff about you that could be used against you. It’s like keeping your privacy locked down. Don’t post stuff like your full name, where you live, or details that can help someone guess your password. Use strong passwords, enable 2FA, and be careful with public Wi-Fi use a vpn or a program like virtualization. Also don’t click on random links or give out personal info to sketchy people online. It’s all about being smart with what you share so you stay safe. Here is a video my friend made
