How to investigate a criminal using OSINT — a real case
Learn how open-source intelligence connects a real suspect's digital footprint, online activity, and real-world identity in a live criminal investigation.
Description
Join us for a live webinar walking through a real OSINT investigation into a criminal suspect from start to finish.
This session will show the practical methods investigators use to build a profile on an individual using only open sources, searching selectors such as email addresses, phone numbers, and usernames, cross-referencing public records, mapping digital footprints, and connecting online activity to real-world identity.
Using a live investigative workflow, we will demonstrate how open sources including social media profiles, domain records, company filings, leaked datasets, and archived content can be combined to move from a single data point to a detailed picture of a person's life, associations, and behaviour.
The session will also cover investigative discipline: verifying sources, avoiding confirmation bias, distinguishing coincidence from pattern, and documenting findings in a way that holds up in legal, journalistic, or operational contexts.
Whether you work in law enforcement, intelligence, compliance, investigative journalism, or security research, this session will give you a repeatable framework for conducting structured OSINT investigations into individuals.
