What can be done about it?
Personal Operational Security.
Evaluating your life, and your actions both physically and digitally is fundamental in creating a secure foundation from which you can build upon.
What is required is to use a structured approach for identifying areas in your digital life which would be detrimental if compromised and then significantly reducing the risk to those items based on your personal circumstances.
It is about knowing and understanding your own day to day behaviour and actions and evaluating how you may be contributing to a weakened security posture, and then reducing that.
It is about giving that extra bit of thought to securing your digital life and identity and looking at how and where it could be defeated and compensating for that.
