Comment on How We Uncovered the Real Identity Behind “Startup L. Jackson”parent

Comments

Not sure about other twitter famous anonaccounts, but @SwiftOnSecurity for example, used to have their real account pointed at SwiftOnSecurity, saying that he was the person managing it.

Now SwiftOnSecurity is so huge people who remember/know this don't really talk about it. I imagine a lot of these things that blow up start like SwiftOnSecurity and then the person realizes "I'm kind of getting a lot of visibility. It could really help me but it could really hurt me. Maybe I should keep this separate from myself".

Beyond basic opsec of keeping your mouth shut, nothing is really necessary...
