SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Observations,mistrust chronicles and exploits
Advanced persistent threats are one of the most draining of attacks. The fear factor is high and constant, grinding down the target for a prolonged period.
At this moment in time I am resilient, but the emotion burden is heavy and has a really negative impact on other activities triggering procrastination, rage, thoughts of retaliation and ultimately retribution.
I find myself looking for a source of solace. DENIED
Division 2 Raids are simply work. This game mode brings out the best in any squad with 8 players actually working together I see planning, teamwork, persistence, critical learning, voice communications and statistical analysis playing a big part in defeating the bosses.
I’m working on my Merciless build and practicing the explosive damage feature and should be raid ready in July.
Like most online gamers my Data is out there in the wild for anyone to see. Tracker sites publicly share valuable profile statistics so you can look up your potential squad members easily.

You can control it but friendly 3rd parties and family members are often the prime suspects to breaking your chain of defense.
Next time someone takes of picture of me I’m gonna freaking destroy their precise device and see if they mind it or not. Well, maybe this is going to far but I feel strongly about the issue of eroding privacy and leaving a public evidence that will be there in 10-20 year time.
