  • Operational Security (OPSEC) is a critical process and set of measures aimed at protecting sensitive or critical information from being discovered by adversaries.
    One of the most insidious threats to OPSEC is the inadvertent leakage of classified or sensitive information through the aggregation of non-confidential data. This process, often referred to as "data aggregation" or "mosaic theory," involves piecing together seemingly innocuous pieces of information to uncover a larger, sensitive picture.
    One famous example is how in the 90s a Domino's franchise owner in Washington DC noticed that there was an increase in pizza deliveries to the Pentagon that correlated with times of heightened activity or stress, such as the lead-up to military operations or significant global events.

    This wasn’t public information at the time.. the real story goes that a man owned multiple dominos chains around the DC metro area, as the owner, he noticed upticks in large late night orders before major world events took place; not just wars. He then took the information that only he had as the business owner and made a website available to the public. Since then, the government still orders late night food service, only now they spread out their orders to different chains and restaurants to not raise suspicion.
    One of these late night meals that was ordered and posted on the public website happened as the US was planning a hostage rescue operation, if terrorists followed the tracker then it is very likely that innocent people would’ve died if the terrorists knew a rescue operation was imminent, hence why they’ve adjusted their ordering habits.

    Another example of OpSec is how the Allies knew in WWII that the Germans were falling behind in tank production. Their tanks had serial numbers that were consecutive, so if a newer tank got destroyed they knew exactly how many were made between that tank and an older tank. When you know your enemy can only make X number of tanks per month and you know from reports you are destroying more than that every month, it becomes simply a war of attrition.
    This is a statistical theory in mathematics literally called the 'German Tank Problem' due to it's use in WWII. To counter this, the Americans (and I suppose other Allies) used random serial numbers on equipment OR purposely inflated serial numbers as counter-OpSec to make the enemy think they could produce more than they really were.

      It's a bit more complicated than just how many they were able to build. Many German tanks lacked fuel so it's more of a matter of how many can you actually operate. They didn't actually need more thanks as much as they needed oil. Especially towards the end of WW2 they were simply unable to fuel the war machine, there was no sense in ramping up production or keeping up with the allies. I think it's the other way around, the allies needed to get more tanks (the ones on par with their counterparts). So to end this drunken rant, I don't think the Germans were falling behind, it's the allies who were catching up (given the fact that the Germans had a few years headstart since they had planned for the thing).
      Edit: the real German tanks problem was solved by making modern thanks(at least some of them) able to run on several types of fuel

    This makes sense. An oncoming war probably leads to more work and late work nights at the Pentagon, so to make that more bearable the supervisor or an assistant orders pizza for dinner.
    I wonder if requiring different departments to get different forms of take-out (cycle through), or getting pick up instead of delivery, or having delivery go to a secondary address so an assistant can pick it up might help this situation?

      I was on the military side of all this, but I knew a guy who went to high school with me who became essentially a professional social media stalker. Got introduced at our high school reunion for having ‘similar careers.’ For context, I was infantry. Similar might be a bit of a stretch.
      I’m not quite sure but I think he did something very similar to the job position they mention in the video.
      We start talking and I found out that he combs social media for breaches in operational security perpetrated by DOD and other gov agencies’ employees.
      I told him a little bit about my time in Iraq, and in turn, he disclosed that he finds a lot of information on Facebook from wives who talk about their husbands going away for trips, which can be easily traced back to the employees themselves to map movement.

      My father served in Czechoslovak military, as he was "politically undesirable" ,he wasn't allowed to serve in a fighting unit and was a medical officer for engineer unit. They were building a huge underground facility to house jet fighters in bunkers, communication hub, all capable of withstanding a nuclear blast. This was during the military occupation of Czechoslovakia by the USSR and the soviets did have jets such as SU-7 BM, capable of carrying nuclear bombs.
      Of course this was all "top secret" and the secret service was watching everyone, they even had a briefing about an operation targeting an old lady, who was in her front yard too often when trucks filled with concrete drove by her house. The secret service proudly presented to soldiers how vigilant they are by boasting about watching this lady and after few weeks figuring out she was not a spy, but they said they keep their watch and the construction is super secret.
      There were two problems. This was at a time when Americans already had satellites taking pictures of the area every few hours and, more importantly, there was a huge board on the gate of the concrete manufacturing plant, visible to everyone driving by. On that board, there was the word "Vojcli" (slang for "soldiers") and for each truck that left the gate, the guard would make one stripe, counting them like beers on a bar receipt.

      I think the deliveries just mean that high level military officers are having a lot of meetings where they can’t go out for lunch. An oncoming war would require those meetings but also any other international news.
