Killing with Keyboards — How Your Digital Footprint Can Be Weaponized
summary
A Ukrainian engineer is deanonymized when an archived privacy review archive exposes his real name, letting a DPRK researcher compile a 200-file dossier linking social accounts, family, and old black‑hat history; later a discovered STM32 USB exploit prompts an operator to confirm product use via casual conference drink conversation, enabling chains that could break hardware wallets or identify activists. Concrete takeaways: model who’s after you, what they can do, and use strict compartmentalization, separate devices, and paper Monero keys.
