James Bond redux: profile update for the modern spy

Lisa Miles
Anything that mentions James Bond and I'm there... ?


Really interesting article in E&T about online social media spies and the tactics they use.


It's prompted me to just remind everyone in our community to report any suspicious behaviour from other community members and to be mindful of the amount of personal information you may be accidentally giving away.

    Something I always bear in mind when having sensitive conversations in public spaces and sometimes even in my own back garden... 


    Sure  - unless you fancy the interview without coffee and biscuits, then best advice is be like Dad - Keep Mum


    Just to continue the theme, often the opposition don't want information in the first instance - they just need to prep an individual for an approach. Something along the lines of targeting a chap who was exceptionally proud of his gold swiss watch - family heirloom that had gone through the first day of the Somme and then been handed down - and he was foolish enough to say so on social media (Got a bit caught up in the 100th Anniversary stuff)


    On an overseas gig, his watch disappeared from his hotel room - now you have a disgruntled chap off to get a few beers and moan. Two days later his watch was back in the hotel room, smashed - even more disgruntled chap, now a bit rattled as well, and off out to get a few more beers and moan to anyone willing to listen about his lot - just ripe for an approach by a good listener


    Moral of that story - don't complain to strangers and don't post specific personal info on Twatter and Faceache
