Court filings from the battle between GTA 6 studio Rockstar and fired workers have revealed how Rockstar accessed a Discord server set up by union organisers.
How’s opsec going to help against a rat anyway? If an insider gives out information, you’re toast anyway, unless you have some kind of a cell network going on like some terrorist organizations and that’s, uh, a bit too much for organizing an union
If you’re allowing anonymous people into your private server you have failed in your OpSec.
The solution to this is to not allow anonymous people into a private server used for organizing. You vet them first before giving access. Basic OpSec 101.
SimpleX makes you anonymous and messages can’t be attributed to you. HR would probably believe screenshots still. If people identify themselves on the chat, and they don’t have to.

OpSec includes vetting people and structuring your organization in a way that frustrates a rat’s ability to gain access to sensitive information.
Having a structured internal network for the union isn’t “a bit much”, it’s a basic necessity to proper organization.
And yet - if the people organizing are completely anonymous and you can’t even know for sure they’re your coworkers, would you trust them?

It works for the CIA. And they even wrote a declassified on exactly what we are talking about.
Like saying how is a fire extinguisher going to help a house fire.
Point is, good opsec prevents it from becoming a house fire.
Study OPSEC. It has an entire segment on dealing with spies (rats), internally, and outside.
