For all of you using twitter, the U.S. intelligence community is looking into twitter.com as a use to coordinate terrorist attack. With the microblogging and the GPS. The repost says.
Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives. Extremist and terrorist use of Twitter could evolve over time to reflect tactics that are already evolving in use by hacktivists and activists for surveillance. This could theoretically be combined with targeting.
What do you think? Is it use for terrosists?

Are terrorists using MSN? Probably.
Are terrorists using the phone? You can probably bet on it?
Are terrorists using pens? Yep.

This is not far fetched at all. Why wouldn’t terrorists use the media (new media and social media included) to further their goals and get information? Everyone else is using for their businesses.
Hell, they wouldn’t even have to work all that hard either since nightly the main stream media loves to point out America’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
The bottom line is that everyone, not just military service members or government officials, needs to observe OPerational SECurity or OPSEC.
The Ten OPSEC Points everyone should observe are:
Don’t discuss current or future destinations, ports of call, or bases.
Don’t discuss current or future operations or missions.
Don’t discuss current or future dates and times of exercises or missions.
Don’t discuss readiness issues and numbers.
Don’t discuss specific training equipment.
Don’t discuss people’s names, military occupation or operations.
Don’t speculate about current or future operations.
Don’t spread rumors about current, future, or past operations or movements.
Don’t assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you; they are.
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC when using email, phone, social media etc
