Digital advance work: the lookup that comes before the attack

The Attack Starts With a Lookup.

The intelligence

In July 2026 executive protection reporting recorded bombings, arson, burglaries and a swatting aimed at prominent people's homes, and the home was the most frequent physical venue that month. This brief asks how a stranger now finds where a principal lives, why that step escapes physical security, and how to measure and shrink it. Built from a monthly incident catalog, public reporting and a federal affidavit. For principals, family offices and security directors.
