00:00.249 --> 00:03.480
(upbeat music)

00:03.480 --> 00:04.830
- [Narrator] In today's digital age,

00:04.830 --> 00:07.140
what we post online can keep
us in touch with friends

00:07.140 --> 00:09.540
and family or entertain millions

00:09.540 --> 00:11.970
but it can also have
devastating consequences.

00:11.970 --> 00:15.440
- In Afghanistan Taliban
suicide bombers killed

00:15.440 --> 00:18.360
at least forty eight
people and wounded scores

00:18.360 --> 00:20.360
today in two separate attacks.

00:20.360 --> 00:22.840
- Our adversaries use a
lot of social engineering

00:22.840 --> 00:23.970
so it's basically putting together

00:23.970 --> 00:25.990
a lot of publicly available information.

00:25.990 --> 00:28.270
So what we can ultimately
do to kind of stop

00:28.270 --> 00:31.100
that and hinder them from
being able to be successful

00:31.100 --> 00:33.940
at what they are trying
to do is like not post

00:33.940 --> 00:35.490
things that we shouldn't
be posting on social media

00:35.490 --> 00:37.270
is kind of basically
what it boils down to,

00:37.270 --> 00:39.130
wanna avoid posting movements,

00:39.130 --> 00:42.840
COVID-19 cases, locations,

00:42.840 --> 00:46.170
also estimated times and
return for deployments

00:46.170 --> 00:47.890
and just what your overall mission

00:47.890 --> 00:49.300
and support level might be.

00:49.300 --> 00:52.140
So, if we can not put those
things on social media

00:52.140 --> 00:53.770
then it would go a long ways

00:53.770 --> 00:55.820
in protecting our service members.

00:55.820 --> 00:57.810
- [Narrator] Whether you're
active duty, guard reserve,

00:57.810 --> 01:00.470
civilian, or a family
member please do your part

01:00.470 --> 01:03.050
and practice operational security online.

01:03.050 --> 01:05.273
Don't make things easy
for our adversaries.
