Teenagers have long been formidable contributors to the hacking landscape. In recent years, some of the most high-profile and audacious cyber incidents have been linked to teen actors. Even if you are not a hacker, you are likely a heavy user of digital tools and social platforms. Whether you have never considered your digital privacy or have already begun tightening controls, this guide offers practical steps to strengthen your operations security. The goal is to help readers understand how others can infer personal information from digital activity—and how to minimize what is unintentionally exposed. Protecting digital privacy is not one-size-fits-all. Individuals differ in how much they share online and how comfortable they are with visibility. Even those who stream continuously can adopt opsec principles. Consider what your audience can see behind you, who appears in your content, and whether someone could determine your location from what is visible through a window. These same questions apply across all forms of digital observation—from platform operators and casual social-media viewers to people browsing your profiles or someone looking over your shoulder at your phone.
