Commonly shared digital security protocols All journalists we interviewed are aware of the importance of digital security. They realise that there is a high chance of being arrested due to their digital footprint— confirming the sentiment shared by journalists surveyed by Reporting ASEAN (2022). Journalists remain afraid that their phone calls are being tapped and their whereabouts digitally surveilled. Journalists with little to no digital security knowledge before the coup have picked up skills from their peers and references online. The military coup has impacted all the participating journalists' habits concerning telephony and online technology. The research data confirms that the higher the risk, the more inclined journalists are to invest in secure digital technology. Those living outside of Myanmar today, for instance, stated they reduced their digital security practices once abroad. DS Trainer #1 pointed out that there is a gap in tracking the adversary's capacity, particularly the military, highlighting a lack of understanding and insufficient monitoring from below. An analysis of the interview results showed there are several commonly used security practices. Not all these practices are directly linked to digital security. Our research data clearly shows the need for a more holistic security practice wherein digital security is part of a larger set of skills and behaviour patterns that can increase journalists’ security. The list below of commonly shared digital security practices reflects that notion. 1. Use of obfuscation methods to cloak international calls as coming from domestic lines. When contacting sources inside Myanmar from outside Myanmar, this method makes the call appear as a nationally received call. This is utilised to communicate with sources lacking internet access, often a result of government-imposed internet shutdowns. It should be noted that this cloaking method does not prevent possible interception, as it would still register as a regular phone call. 39
