Historic preservation installs a browser extension that phones home with every civic URL visited during research. What OPSEC choice should the analyst make?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A helper that tattles every URL is a leak, not a shortcut. Research tools can advertise the investigation. Use known lab tools in an isolated profile instead of mystery extensions.
Full Explanation
Tool OPSEC includes whether a helper transmits the investigation's targets. Browser extensions that phone home can disclose civic URLs, timing, and researcher identity to a third party. Prefer documented tools in an isolated lab or browser profile. Personal devices and public pastes widen the leak, and trust is earned by known behavior, not by a store listing.
