(U//FOUO) SID OPSEC: Identity Theft and Name-the-Mascot
FROM: the SID OPSEC Dragon
Dictated to:

Run Date: 09/22/2004
(S02L3)
(U//FOUO) Hi There! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the new mascot for the SID OPSEC
program. My name is ---- actually, let's talk first. What I have to talk about is much more
important than who I am, right? Recently my humans (a.k.a. the SID OPSEC Program
Managers) sponsored a briefing for SID personnel on the topic of Identity Theft. Just in time,
too! One of them got an email that very night from someone pretending to represent Citibank,
asking her to go to a website and type in her password. Can you imagine? Trying to "phish" for
information from someone who earns her living helping people keep their information secure!
How silly! Of course, nobody would ever try to steal my identity, although I'd like to see
someone try. I'd toast 'em!
SID OPSEC Dragon
(U//FOUO) Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the Identity Theft presentation. We know that many
more people wanted to attend than we could accommodate, so we're working to schedule
additional presentations in the future. Work/Life services and Security also sponsor similar
events, as does TFCU, so hopefully everyone will have a chance to receive education on this
important topic soon. We'd love to hear your feedback from this session as well, so please email
your comments to
(U//FOUO) Now, on to what's really important. ME. I'd love to introduce myself, but, well, I
can't. One of my humans found me recently, but no one knows my name -- including me! They
tried to suggest various names to me hoping I'd remember who I was, but no luck. I don't want
to insult them, but frankly the names they suggested were pretty lame. I mean really, a
magnificent purple OPSEC dragon needs a dignified, regal name. Or at least one that people can
pronounce! It is getting tiresome being addressed as "Hey, Dragon!" though.
(U//FOUO) I think I finally hit on a solution. A name contest! Everyone in SID is encouraged to
participate. This is pretty important to me, so I'd like a lot of names to choose from. After all, I
am the new face of OPSEC in SID. That's a big responsibility. I need just the right name to
really make a statement. That's understandable, isn't it? So, here's the deal. You put on your
thinking cap and suggest a name or two. Send your suggestions to
@nsa and
@nsa before COB 13 October 2004. An exclusive panel of judges will review the
suggestions, and whoever submits the winning name will win a fabulous prize. Ok, so maybe not
fabulous, but you'll at least win a prize. So please, help me find a name soon!
Thank you,
Name unknown
The SID OPSEC Dragon
