Failure to conceal the identity of open source intelligence collectors could conceivably lead to spoofing, disinformation or other forms of compromise.
"Efforts in this area [i.e., open source intelligence] will require collectors to operate in benign cyberspace domains, such as media websites and academic databases, as well as more hostile areas, such as foreign language blogging websites and even websites maintained by terrorist or state-actors groups. The committee is concerned about the ability of our adversaries to be able to track and attribute collection activities to U.S. and allied forces. Technology exists to provide non-attribution services to protect identities, especially source country of origin."
The Committee generally welcomed the growing investment in open source intelligence."The committee urges the Secretary of Defense to ensure, through the use of all reasonable means, protection of government investigators involved in gathering open source intelligence. These means should include proven non-attribution services, as well as development of appropriate tactics, techniques and procedures that are incorporated into manuals and training programs."
“委员会认识到,开源情报为传统情报收集和分析提供了关键的补充能力。委员会鼓励委员会在军事和情报社区内日益认可开源情报的价值,而开放式情报的价值是由公开建立所刺激的来源中心和开发陆军现场手册的开发。”

OPEN SOURCE CENTER KEEPS PUBLIC IN THE DARK
The ODNI Open Source Center has imposed some rather ferocious controls on its unclassified products in order to shield them from public access.
Even when its publications are not copyrighted, they are to be "treated as copyrighted" and in any case they "must not be disseminated to the public."
The following notice was recently posted on the password-protected OSC website:
”的内容via this website must not be disseminated to the public. All content available via this website is treated as copyrighted material and is provided for U.S. Government purposes only. Such purposes may include rebroadcast, redistribution, dissemination, copying, and hyper-linking provided it is for official U.S. Government purposes only. Any removal or redistribution of content outside of official U.S. Government channels requires the advance authorization of OSC. Information under the control of external websites to which OSC may provide hyperlinks may have separate restrictions and shall be accessed only in accordance with any usage policies and restrictions applicable to those sites."
Meanwhile, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has scheduled a conference on open source intelligence on September 11-12 in Washington, DC which will be open to the public (advance registration required). See:“授权的系统用户可以使用该网站可用的内容来支持美国政府官方业务,并可能将此信息传播给其他美国政府组件。在将此内容传播以供其他美国政府组件使用,美国政府人员必须使用受密码保护的电子邮件系统。合作伙伴的系统用户(例如,与OSC有正式关系的人)也可以使用OSC授权的内容来支持其官方业务,并且必须使用受密码保护的电子邮件系统。承包商可以访问此问题站点可能只能在需要履行其合同责任的时间段内访问该访问权限。”
