How do digital/open-source investigators uncover hidden truths and expose lies? World-renowned digital sleuth Craig Silverman shares important lessons he's learned from years spent exposing scammers, fake-news operators, fraud networks, and online deception. We discuss: the techniques investigators use to track anonymous people through seemingly insignificant clues; why stepping away from a case can be more productive than obsessively chasing leads; and how confirmation bias can derail even experienced investigators. Craig recounts the story of how he identified the anonymous creator behind the influential fake-news site True Pundit, along with other investigations that uncovered sophisticated fraud schemes that made millions of dollars. We also explore the modern explosion of misinformation, fake credibility, and AI-generated deception, and why investigative skills are becoming an increasingly valuable skill—not just for journalists, but for anyone trying to make sense of today's confusing information landscape.

The Iran conflict contains dueling narratives. Iran says it repelled the attack. Israel says it decimated the nuclear program. The US says it brokered peace. So, how do you find out what actually happened? That's where Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) can provide valuable information to the public.  Eliot Higgins built Bellingcat from a Leicester living room blog into the world's most influential open source intelligence organization. Sir Richard Dearlove and Rosanna Lockwood sit down with him to find out how OSINT cuts through the war of narratives on Iran, Ukraine, and the fronts nobody's covering. Plus: why AI is making the truth harder to find, not easier, and why Higgins won't set foot in the United States right now.

In this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show, we dive deeper into the "Iron Triangles" of corruption that enabled Epstein's network, with a special focus on the women co-conspirators. Like Trump is the rotting face of a death cult fascist movement that will outlive him, Epstein was a figurehead of a sprawling transnational crime syndicate, one enabled by powerbrokers still operating in plain sight.  Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT investigator Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. As Felon 47 uses the might of his regime to harass survivor E. Jean Carroll, for risking her life to stand up to him for sexual assault, they want us demoralized and checked out. Instead, fight back by watching and amplifying her new documentary, out now, Ask E. Jean, and go to the Gaslit Nation Action Guide for more ways to fight back.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more!

Hey friends! Today we're going deep on external network pentesting — something I realize we've barely touched in however many episodes we've done. I'm currently in a long stretch of back-to-back external assessments, so it felt like a good time to talk about it. Here's what we get into: Scoping headaches — why the old "count your public IPs and multiply by a big hourly rate" approach drives me crazy, and how we actually scope external tests to be fair to everyone Web apps in scope or not? — this needs its own conversation before the test starts, and skipping it causes pain later Testing under real conditions — the debate around whether to request an allowlist vs. scanning as-is, and why I lean toward creating the best testing environment possible Multi-tool enumeration — why we run Nessus, Project Discovery, and Shodan together, and what each catches that the others miss Reporting the surface — why just walking a customer through what's exposed to the internet (ports, services, screenshots) has more value than I used to give it credit for SNMP and NTP findings — two protocols that keep showing up open when they really (probably) shouldn't be OSINT phase — how we've grown externals to include open-source intelligence work on the customer's domains, not just IP-level scanning WordPress hygiene — it keeps coming up on these assessments, and I've got some practical recommendations Dorking and metadata searches — using AI to quickly sift through publicly exposed documents for things attackers could use to pretext a social engineering attack Subdomain hijacking — a sneaky attack path I've seen in the wild that flies right in the face of all the "check if the URL is spelled right" advice we give users Even when the technical findings are pretty quiet, there's a lot you can do to punch up an external pentest report with stuff that's genuinely valuable to customers!

Who were the women who worked with Jeffrey Epstein? In Part I of this series, we look at Ghislaine Maxwell, transnational crime royalty as the daughter of MI6/Mossad double-agent and disgraced British media mogul Robert Maxwell, whose dying wish was to connect Maxwell with a young upstart in New York named Epstein.  Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT expert Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. We also discuss the analysis by investigative journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez that Maxwell was Epstein's handler in an intelligence long-game going back to the O.S.S., predecessor to the C.I.A.  Important historical context to our discussion: In 2011, then FBI Director Robert Mueller gave the "Iron Triangles" speech, revealing that transnational crime today works like an industry: fancy Western institutions like banks, law firms, and PR firms launder the money and reputations of shadowy crime and rogue intelligence syndicates, who are further served by their paid-off political operatives and politicians. In the speech, Mueller promised to crack down on the head of the Russian mafia, Semion Mogilevich, nicknamed the "boss of all bosses." Instead, Mogilevich was mysteriously taken off of the FBI's Most Wanted List in 2015, at a time the FBI was busting Russian spy rings in New York City, including Kremlin recruitment of college girls, including one Andrea may have encountered at a foreign policy event. A year later, Donald Trump, after decades of financial dealings with dirty Russian money, would be elected president with the Kremlin's illegal help. The 2016 election was a transnational coup decades in the making. In 1999, a high-level U.S. source leaked to the New York Times, undermining a sensitive intelligence operation between the FBI and MI6 to close-in on Russian mafia infiltration in the West, especially Mogilevich. In reporting from that time, The Guardian wrote:  "Author Jeffrey Robinson - whose latest book, The Merger, was published by Simon and Schuster last week - says that organised criminals such as Mogilevich are enjoying massive success using Harvard Business School techniques. 'Mogilevich typifies the new global criminal,' says Robinson. 'These men don't rob banks, they buy them. They take full advantage of globalisation, ill-equipped law enforcement and lax money-laundering laws - especially in Britain - using the City of London as their onshore gateway to the offshore world. 'This case is the tip of the iceberg. The City is an absolute cesspool and it will remain a cesspool because the people in charge don't care. Mogilevich is not the only one, the Bank of New York is not the only place."  Russian oligarchs are the Russian military industrial complex. Mogilevich oversees "weapons trafficking, contract murders, extortion, drug trafficking, and prostitution on an international scale," according to the FBI. It would be easy to buy-off U.S. officials, like the FBI's Charles McGonigal who was paid with our tax dollars to fight the Russian mafia, but was instead on their payroll. Intelligence agencies in the U.S. – the FBI and the CIA – have faced virtually no oversight and accountability for most of their existence, leading to the explosive Church Committee Congressional hearings, exposing that the CIA and FBI were involved in covert mind control experiments, illegal coups and science fiction-style assassination programs, and violent infiltration of political opposition groups on U.S. soil. You can learn more about that in our recent episode on the Church Committee Report – in the show notes. Listen to Part I now. Part II will be out this Thursday as Gaslit Nation's Bonus Show, with a continued discussion of the women who worked with Epstein, and what they may reveal about the Iron Triangles that illegally helped bring a Russian asset/traitor to power.

So Who Was? https://alisav.substack.com/p/epstein-likely-wasnt-the-boss-so February 5, 2026 from The Times: "Jeffrey Epstein was introduced to Ghislaine Maxwell by her brother Kevin as part of a plan for the paedophile financier to help the Maxwell family "move money", according to a previously undisclosed account of the origins of the scandal. Kevin Maxwell, once Britain's biggest bankrupt, was "instructed to meet Epstein by his father", Robert Maxwell, according to FBI records of conversations with a former business associate of the Maxwells that have been released by the US Department of Justice.  Kevin later introduced Ghislaine to Epstein and was responsible for placing her office in New York near Epstein after Robert Maxwell's death in 1991, the business associate is said to have claimed. Kevin allegedly negotiated an "understanding" with Epstein and Ghislaine whereby Epstein "would become involved in the Maxwell financial affairs". https://www.thetimes.com/article/0b5bfceb-3c2a-4ffa-aa2f-74e38a395a1e   US charges Russian 'spies' suspected of trying to recruit New Yorkers https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/26/us-charges-alleged-russian-spies-new-york   Traitors in the FBI https://www.gaslitnationpod.com/episodes/traitors-in-the-fbi/ "Donald Barr's 26-page O.S.S. file, obtained from the National Archives, gives a detailed account of his transition from the military to intelligence work.

En este episodio analizamos uno de los grandes temas de nuestro tiempo: la privacidad digital. Vivimos conectados a móviles, redes sociales, aplicaciones, plataformas, asistentes inteligentes y sistemas que recogen información constantemente. Cada búsqueda, cada ubicación, cada permiso aceptado y cada interacción deja una huella. La pregunta es incómoda, pero necesaria: ¿Queda realmente privacidad en la era digital? En este episodio hablamos de: Privacidad digital. Vigilancia online. Rastros digitales. Datos personales. Ciberseguridad básica. Inteligencia artificial. Web visible y web oculta. Riesgos digitales. Exposición silenciosa del usuario. No se trata de vivir con miedo. Se trata de vivir despiertos. Porque el mayor peligro no es estar conectado. El mayor peligro es no entender el sistema en el que vivimos conectados. La Web Oculta es una reflexión necesaria sobre cómo internet observa, recuerda, analiza y monetiza nuestra vida digital. Si te interesa la inteligencia artificial, la ciberseguridad, la privacidad, el OSINT y el futuro tecnológico, este episodio es para ti. #LaWebOculta #PrivacidadDigital #Ciberseguridad #IA #InteligenciaArtificial #OSINT #SeguridadDigital #VigilanciaDigital #ProteccionDeDatos #Tecnologia #DeepWeb #DatosPersonales #SRIA #SergioRuiz

C dans l'air du 25 mai 2026 - Missile hypersonique: Poutine affaibli, plus dangereux que jamais?600 drones et 90 missiles se sont abattus sur la capitale ukrainienne ce week-end. D'intenses bombardements qui ont fait au moins quatre morts, plus de 100 blessés et de nombreux incendies. Les dégâts sont d'autant plus importants que Moscou revendique l'usage d'un Orechnik, un missile hypersonique à capacité nucléaire. La Russie dit avoir frappé Kiev en représailles à l'offensive aérienne ukrainienne d'une ampleur inédite qui a touché, la semaine dernière, le territoire russe. Plus de 600 drones s'étaient abattus sur 14 de ses régions centrales, la Crimée annexée, la mer Noire et Moscou. Vladimir Poutine avait promis une réponse après une frappe de drones ayant fait 18 morts dans la région ukrainienne de Lougansk occupée par les Russes."Crime de guerre", "escalade progressive"... L'Europe s'est insurgée après l'utilisation du missile russe à capacité nucléaire Orechnik. Volodymyr Zelensky de son côté a demandé à la communauté internationale de faire "pression" sur la Russie pour la dissuader d'utiliser son arme. Et cette stratégie militaire de Moscou a également été vivement contestée au sein même du camp russe. Plusieurs blogueurs militaires nationalistes influents ont qualifié ces frappes d'« extrêmement coûteuses » et de « militairement inutiles », affirmant que le tir d'Oreshnik sur la localité de Bila Tserkva ne visait aucun objectif stratégique d'importance. Ces mêmes sources ont rappelé que cette escalade intervient alors que l'armée russe essuie des échecs sur le front.Sur le terrain, les gains territoriaux de la Russie en Ukraine ont progressivement diminué ces derniers mois, et l'armée ukrainienne frappe désormais régulièrement en profondeur sur le territoire russe, révélant au grand jour les failles sécuritaires du Kremlin. Des tirs qui provoquent un malaise et de l'inquiétude dans la population russe, et sèment le doute sur la capacité du pouvoir à protéger le pays.Alors que sait-on du missile russe « Orechnik » ? Pourquoi la Russie a-t-elle utilisé, pour la troisième fois contre l'Ukraine, ce missile balistique à portée intermédiaire (IRBM) ? Est-ce une marque de fébrilité de Moscou ? Des analystes OSINT affirment qu'un missile Oreshnik lancé par la Russie aurait touché une zone occupée par ses propres forces près de Donetsk, en plus de la frappe dans la région de Kiev. Que s'est-il réellement passé ? Pourquoi l'Ukraine et l'Europe s'inquiètent-elles autant ? Parallèlement, l'Assemblée nationale a adopté, la semaine dernière, une rallonge de 36 milliards d'euros pour la défense d'ici à 2030, portant les dépenses militaires totales à 436 milliards.Dans les faits, le format des armées ne devrait pas bouger : 210 000 militaires d'active, 225 avions de combat ainsi que 15 frégates de premier rang. Mais l'accent va être mis sur les munitions comme les missiles, les obus et surtout la production de drones. Les combats en Ukraine ont montré l'importance de ces engins depuis quatre ans, et les attaques mutuelles de ces derniers jours témoignent d'un changement de dimension. Reportage ce soir sur l'ancien centre d'essais en vol de l'Essonne, devenu le terrain d'expérimentation des dronistes, avec le soutien du Secrétariat général de la défense et de la sécurité nationale, soucieux de renforcer les capacités de lutte antidrones.Nos experts :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major et ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Vera GRANTSEVA - Politologue - Spécialiste de la Russie- Alain BAUER - Professeur émérite au CNAM, fondateur du pôle sécurité, défense et renseignement- Philippe GELIE - Directeur adjoint de la rédaction Le Figaro

Bellingcat is het meest bekende, internationale onderzoekscollectief online. Het werd groot met open source intelligence (OSINT) en haalt daarmee nog steeds belangrijke zaken boven tafel, bij uitstek in geopolitieke conflicten. Hoe gaan deze journalisten wereldwijd te werk? En in hoeverre bedreigt de enorme opkomst van AI hun werkwijze, of helpt het ze juist? Eén ding dat zeker is, is dat hun werk steeds uitdagender wordt. Net als de situatie vandaag de dag. Volgens Bellingcat-oprichter Eliot Higgins is onze democratie in gevaar. Het vertrouwen in instituties en de media wordt minder, men gaat opzoek naar alternatieven en belanden zo in de krochten van het internet. Hoe moeten we hier met z'n allen mee omgaan? Je hoort het in deze nieuwe aflevering van De Grote Tech Show met Joe van Burik, Ben van der Burg en Eliot Higgins, oprichter van onderzoekscollectief Bellingcat. Vragen, opmerkingen of suggesties?

Silicon Bites Ep320 | 2026-04-18 | Ukraine's war on Russian oil, the allies who begged them to stop, and the sanctions waiver that proved whose side Washington is on. On the morning of April 16th, a plume of black smoke rose from the Russian port city of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast. It stretched over a hundred kilometres out to sea. It was visible from space. NASA published the satellite image.The Tuapse Oil Refinery — a Rosneft facility, one of the ten largest in Russia, with an annual processing capacity of twelve million tons — was on fire. Ukrainian drones from the Security Service's Alpha special operations centre had struck fuel storage tanks, deepwater oil-loading arms, pipeline infrastructure, and a multifunctional radar station. The fire spread to neighbouring reservoirs and burned through the day. Ukraine's General Staff confirmed the strike. The OSINT project CyberBoroshno reported the fire had intensified. OSINTtechnical posted the satellite footage. The port of Tuapse handles up to ten percent of Russia's total petroleum product exports.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Kyiv Independent — "Ukrainian drone strikes turn major Russian oil refinery into 'volcano' along the Black Sea" (April 16, 2026) The Moscow Times — "Smoke Plume Rises Above Krasnodar Oil Refinery After Ukraine and Russia Trade Deadly Barrages" (April 16, 2026) UNITED24 Media — "Tuapse Oil Refinery in Flames After Drone Strike Hits Russia's Black Sea Port" (April 16, 2026)Ukrainska Pravda — "Ukraine's special forces hit Rosneft oil terminal in Russia's Tuapse with drones" (April 16, 2026) Ukrinform — "General Staff confirms hits on Tuapse oil refinery" (April 16, 2026) Mezha — "Ukrainian forces struck Tuapse refinery, fires and storage damage reported" (April 16, 2026) Al Jazeera — "Ukraine's long-range strikes prompt new Russian threat against Europe" (April 17, 2026)RBC Ukraine — "Ukraine hits four Russian oil refineries in one night" (April 18, 2026) EA WorldView — "Trump Administration Extends Sanctions Waiver on Russia's Oil" (April 18, 2026)----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Executive Protection & Modern Security Risks in a Digital World| DailyCyber 288 with Ryan Quirk ~ Watch Now ~    Modern security is no longer confined to firewalls and physical barriers. As digital exposure increases, so does the risk to executives, families, and organizations. From social media footprints to open-source intelligence, the lines between cyber, physical, and personal security are rapidly converging.   In this episode of DailyCyber, we sit down with Ryan Quirk, CEO of Sparrow Risk Group, to break down how the threat landscape has evolved—and what leaders need to do to adapt.   Episode Overview Technology over the last decade has fundamentally reshaped how individuals and organizations are exposed to risk. What was once considered separate domains—cybersecurity, physical security, and intelligence—are now deeply interconnected. This shift requires a new approach to security strategy, particularly for business owners and high-net-worth individuals who face increased visibility and targeting.   Ryan shares insights from over 20 years of experience across civilian and government sectors, highlighting how risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated in high-threat environments. The discussion explores how security must evolve beyond traditional models and into a more integrated, intelligence-driven framework.   Organizations that fail to recognize these changes often underestimate their exposure—particularly when it comes to publicly available information. Social media, corporate websites, and open-source data can all be leveraged to build detailed profiles that increase vulnerability. Ryan brings a practical lens to these challenges, outlining how leaders can begin to reassess their current posture and make informed decisions about protecting their people, assets, and operations.   The conversation also dives into how different industries face varying levels of risk depending on their visibility, access to capital, and geopolitical exposure. Not all threats are equal, and understanding where your organization stands is critical to building an effective defense strategy.   Another key theme is the growing importance of choosing the right security partner. With many firms offering overlapping services, Ryan explains what truly differentiates a capable security provider—and how clients can avoid common mistakes when selecting who to trust.   Topics covered: • Technology reshaping security risk • High-risk industries and exposure • Social media and OSINT threats • Convergence of cyber and physical security • Choosing the right security partner   Guest: Ryan Quirk — CEO, Sparrow Risk Group Host: Brandon Krieger — CEO & vCISO Advisor   Full Episode: Youtube.com/brandonkrieger Listen to the podcast: DailyCyber.ca

The modern battlefield isn't confined to war zones overseas, it's evolving rapidly along the U.S. border. Criminal organizations like the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels are leveraging commercial technology, decentralized networks, and real-time adaptability in ways that challenge traditional intelligence models. At the center of this shift is a growing gap between how threats evolve and how intelligence systems respond.Former military intelligence specialist, Stefano Ritondale, and current the Chief Intelligence Officer at Artorias joins the podcast to provide insights on UAV threats, OSINT, and strategic implications for the U.S. from a national security perspective.

This week, we are joined by Santiago Pontiroli, Threat Intelligence Research Lead from Acronis TRU team, discussing their work on "New year, new sector: Transparent Tribe targets India's startup ecosystem." The Acronis Threat Research Unit uncovered a new campaign by Transparent Tribe showing the group has expanded beyond traditional government and defense targets to India's startup ecosystem, especially cybersecurity and OSINT-focused firms. The attackers use startup-themed lures delivered via ISO files and malicious shortcuts to deploy Crimson RAT, a highly obfuscated tool capable of surveillance, data theft, and system control. Despite this shift, the campaign closely mirrors the group's long-standing espionage tactics, suggesting startups are being targeted for their connections to government, law enforcement, and sensitive intelligence networks.

Silicon Bites Ep312 | 2026-04-03 | Ten oil refineries. Twelve S-300 and S-400 air defence systems. Five strategic factories. Fourteen fuel depots. Three warships. Two naval missile systems. And a single microchip plant that has just halted Iskander missile production for six months. Putin is not a Master Strategist, and his war against Ukraine is not going well. That is the March scorecard. And Ukraine's Defence Ministry has now confirmed it: March 2026 was the most damaging single month of strategic strikes against Russia's military-industrial complex since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. While the Western media was focused on Trump's NATO threats and the Iran war and Orbán's election campaign, Ukraine was quietly, methodically, and with increasing range and precision, dismantling the infrastructure that Russia needs to keep killing Ukrainians.

At RSAC Conference 2026, Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, sat down with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli for a conversation that has become something of an annual tradition. What started in 2018 as a category BlackCloak largely invented -- digital executive protection -- has become one of the most pressing concerns in enterprise security. Adversaries have figured out that the easiest path into a company often runs straight through the personal lives of its leaders: the About Us page, the board listing, the family members visible on social media. BlackCloak was built to close that gap. BlackCloak announced at RSAC Conference 2026 the launch of its new travel advisory platform -- a tool designed to give executives and their families actionable, real-time intelligence when traveling domestically or internationally. Pierson explained that CISOs and CSOs are increasingly being asked questions that go well beyond network security: what are the crime trends in this city, what embassy contacts are needed, which areas should be avoided? The platform distills complex, fast-moving threat intelligence into concise briefings -- four or five pages, mobile-accessible, and built for the executive and the family members traveling alongside them. On the privacy side, BlackCloak introduced Search Suppression -- a new feature that goes further than data broker removal alone. Even after information is scrubbed from the major data broker sites, traces of personally identifiable information can persist across the open internet. Search Suppression identifies those instances and requests their removal from search engine results, shrinking the digital footprint that attackers use to build targeted OSINT profiles. And because the threat surface shifts as executives' children age and begin generating their own data trails, the platform monitors continuously -- not just at a single point in time. Pierson also addressed the deepfake threat head-on. BlackCloak re-released its Impersonation Protection feature with deeper capabilities specifically designed for this problem. Plugin-based detection tools for Teams or Zoom leave the most common attack vectors -- phone calls, text messages, WhatsApp, Signal -- completely unaddressed. Impersonation Protection allows members to push a quick identity-verification request through the BlackCloak app to anyone in their trusted circle, regardless of how the original communication arrived. If verification fails, alarm notifications fire to both the CISO and the BlackCloak team. In a world where high-quality deepfake audio and video can be synthesized from publicly available earnings call recordings and media appearances, slowing down to verify through a trusted channel is one of the most reliable defenses available. The conversation closed on the concept of trust -- a word Pierson returned to repeatedly. It is, he said, the reason people choose BlackCloak. The relationships the company builds with CISOs, CSOs, and the executives and families they protect require trust that is built carefully and maintained continuously. As BlackCloak scales, preserving that culture is something Pierson thinks about deeply. For a company whose entire business is built on protecting people in their most personal digital spaces, trust is not just a value. It is the product. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Tyler McBrien, and Renée DiResta to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Meta-verse of Madness.” On Tuesday, a New Mexico jury reached a $375 million verdict against Meta after a seven-week trial that focused on whether the social media company knowingly harmed children's mental health and facilitated child sexual exploitation through its algorithms. And just before recording, another verdict came down in a jury trial in California about whether Facebook and YouTube are too addictive in a way that harms an individual plaintiff in that case. Several other similar civil cases are set to go to trial in the coming months. What do we make of these verdicts, and do they signal a turning tide against social media companies for the algorithms that make them both profitable and (potentially) addictive?“SAVE-ing Face.” President Trump and Republican congressional leaders went back and forth this week over a deal that would put forward a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, or at least less controversial parts of it, despite Trump's threats not to sign any pieces of legislation until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. Trump views the SAVE America Act as vindication for his criticisms of the 2020 Election, but Republicans in the Senate have hedged and resisted his calls to blow up the filibuster in order to pass it. Instead, they now appear to have a deal in place that will allow less controversial parts of the funding for DHS to go forward—and for the funding for the most controversial parts, particularly ICE and removal operations, to go forward through reconciliation on what is likely to be a party line vote, along with select chunks of that SAVE America Act. Why is Trump so determined to pass the SAVE America Act? And what does the compromise he now appears to have reached with Senate Republicans mean for its future?“Poly Wants a Crack-up.” Flight monitors, pizza place trackers, and Google Earth—the past few years have brought open source intelligence, better known as “OSINT,” into vogue. Accounts on X have racked up millions of followers by “monitoring the situation” for news events spanning from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to natural disasters. But this explosion of OSINT accounts has brought a wave of disinformation, and coincides with the growth of online prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, whose bettors use OSINT to gain an advantage — and, at times, to manipulate the results. How has OSINT contributed to the online media landscape? And how has it hurt it?In object lessons, Tyler engages in some classic log-rolling with a recommendation of the new podcast, “Who Blew Up the Guidestones?” Molly digs even deeper into her collection of curiosities to find her vintage “Nuke ‘Em 'Til They Glow” hat.

As the world watches for updates in the war on Iran, cutting through the fog of war and getting a real sense of the extent of damage and military activity in the region isn't easy. For some, the answer is open source intelligence: pouring over satellite images, flight radars, news updates, social media posts, and just about any kind of data someone can get their hands on.And while OSINT investigations have worked their way into common practice for newsrooms all over the world, it's also increasingly popular among amateurs or “OSINT cowboys” with sophisticated AI-coded dashboards streaming constant real life info so that they can monitor the situation as closely as possible and even place bets on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. But how accurate are these OSINT reports? And what happens when watching for war updates becomes gamified?Tyler McBrien, the managing editor at Lawfare, joins us to talk about the piece he wrote on this topic for The Baffler.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Gabe Fanelli is back. Our Director of Training, 14 years active duty Army, Bronze Star recipient, SIGINT operator from West Africa to Syria, walks us through the new OSINT Operator Course, module by module.This one is different. It is not a tools course. Tools go down. This is about building the analytical brain behind the tools: critical thinking, bias recognition, geo and chronological verification, the dark web, ad tech surveillance, corporate intelligence, and the ethics that hold all of it together.We also went somewhere most podcasts will not go. AI in the kill chain. 900 strikes in 12 hours. The targeting deck for that girls' school in Tehran. Palantir's Maven Smart system. I wrote my dissertation on LLMs in the kill chain eight years ago, and the fact that the human is being removed further and further from the loop is not a future problem: it is a right now problem.Gabe and I got into it on ad tech too. Your data broker probably knows your BMI. That should scare you.The OSINT Operator Course is launching soon with a presale discount. If you work in intelligence, law enforcement, corporate security, compliance, or you just want to understand what is actually possible with open source data: this one is for you. Hosted on Acast.

When an Iranian primary school was bombed on the first day of the war, killing dozens of children instantly, it spawned a cycle of denials, conspiracy theories and online speculation. Nearly three weeks on, it's clear that an American Tomahawk missile was responsible for the deadliest attack of the conflict so far. The Telegraph's chief foreign affairs analyst Roland Oliphant and OSINT expert Gareth Corfield join Venetia Rainey and Arthur Scott-Geddes to go through all the evidence and explain why it matters. Plus: Israel is upping its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, with strikes on central Beirut, troops invading from the south and flyers invoking the threat of Gaza. The Telegraph's global health security editor Paul Nuki joins from Beirut to discuss the latest news on what's been targeted, the displacement crisis and attempts at peace talks. He also outlines three scenarios for how the war in Lebanon may unfold in the weeks to come.

In this episode of Fed Time Stories, Dave Brandt and John Gill sit down with Jane van Tienen, Chief Intelligence Officer at OSINT Combine, to explore her journey from the Australian national security community to the forefront of open-source intelligence in the private sector. Drawing on 24 years of experience, Jane reflects on her career journey, the growing importance of OSINT, and how intelligence derived from publicly and commercially available information is reshaping modern security.The discussion explores how AI can strengthen OSINT workflows while still requiring strong human tradecraft, ethics, and governance to be effective. Jane also shares her perspective on the Bondi Beach attack, the challenges security agencies face when threats emerge without clear warning signs, and why the absence of intelligence does not mean the absence of risk.Beyond security and intelligence, the episode also touches on mentorship, community engagement, and the importance of investing in young people to build confidence, agency, and critical thinking. Along the way, Jane offers thoughtful reflections on the cultural differences between Australia and the United States and what those differences reveal about leadership, security, and public safety.Fed Time Stories is brought to you by Kaseware, an investigative case management solution.

Rosa Rowles has spent more than six years as a social engineer, mainly performing vishing calls. She reports that she has made more than 20,000 calls in her career. In this episode, she talks about using OSINT to build a pretext and how she chooses favorite pretexts to fit into a target's own bias. She also explains amygdala hijacking and how the right pretext can put someone's mind into a state where they might not make the best choices. Rosa will be presenting at BSides Tampa on May 16 at 2 pm!

Our guest for this episode is Nico Dekens, a veteran practitioner of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), cyber intelligence, and online investigations with 20+ years in Dutch law enforcement as an all-source intelligence analyst.  Now the owner of Dutch OSINT Guy Intelligence Services and Director of Intelligence & Collection Innovation at ShadowDragon, Dekens is widely known in the OSINT community as @Dutch_OsintGuy and as a co-founder of OSINTCurio.us.  He has trained thousands of government personnel, helped stand up OSINT units, and is recognized for blending operational experience with hands-on instruction as a SANS Instructor and Lead Author. In this interview, we focus on how OSINT is being operationalized, how analysts should think about trust and ethics in anonymous digital environments, and how emerging threats like AI-enabled manipulation are changing verification standards.  Listen as Mr. Dekens digs into collection innovation and what's actually changing at the tools-and-methods level and where Dekens thinks OSINT is headed strategically for government and security stakeholders.  

哈梅內伊（Ali Khamenei）遇刺前24小時，預測市場上六個神秘戶口以120萬美元精準押注，外界嘩然，紛紛指摘是內幕交易。然而，比內幕交易更值得深思的問題是：市場的核戰機會率在行動前悄然攀升至19%，Polymarket卻在輿論壓力下悄然將這個賭注下架——拿走訊號，並不等於消除風險。市場除了分配資源，更核心的功能是揭露資訊；哪怕背後有人靠內幕消息或OSINT獲利，那個價格訊號本身，已是普通人在政府和傳媒過濾之外，所能獲得的最誠實的早期預警。禁止人們知道核武引爆的機會率，究竟是保護公眾，還是剝奪他們自救的機會？問：哈梅內伊遇刺前，預測市場上究竟發生了什麼？ 答：在美國和以色列聯合行動擊殺伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊（Ali Khamenei）前約24小時，Polymarket上有六個戶口合共落注120萬美元，賭哈梅內伊在2月28日前下臺。事後區塊鏈分析公司Bubblemaps發現，這些戶口大多在行動前24小時內才開立，引發外界廣泛質疑是否涉及內幕交易。問：市場除了分配資源之外，還有什麼更根本的功能？ 答：市場的另一個核心功能是「資訊揭露」（information revelation）——透過價格訊號，將散落在不同人手中的知識匯聚起來，反映出最接近現實的狀態。傳媒和評論員的工作主要是解讀資訊，但第一手資訊往往受制於消息來源的議程，存在被操控的風險。預測市場的價格走勢，反而可能是一個較少被刻意操縱的訊號來源。問：這六個戶口的下注，一定是內幕交易嗎？ 答：不一定。除了直接內幕消息之外，還有另一個解釋：透過開源情報（OSINT）和各種公開數據的分析，有人或許早已推算出軍事行動的可能時間窗口。俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭之前約兩週，供應鏈和物流數據已反映出俄軍的異常部署。此外，Binary Option的時間值特性令臨近到期日的賭注回報率大幅提升，純粹從套利角度也可解釋為何有人選擇在24小時前大注。問：哪怕真的存在內幕交易，這對普通人有什麼好處？ 答：內幕交易者透過落注，將原本只屬少數人的資訊「洩漏」到市場價格之中，令其他參與者和觀察者也能從價格走勢中讀取到相關訊號。這種機制可以理解為：社會在不知情的情況下，向那些願意揭露隱藏資訊的人支付了一筆「懸紅」。即使過程不公平，資訊揭露的結果對公眾而言仍然利多於弊。問：Polymarket下架核戰賭注，對公眾有什麼實際影響？ 答：在下架之前，該賭注所反映的核武引爆機會率已升至約19%至22%，而在此之前長期接近零。下架令這個市場訊號消失，但核戰的實際風險並不會因此降低。普通人若能獲得這個資訊，至少可以就個人安全、財產配置和出行計劃作出更理性的安排。壓制訊號與消除風險，是截然不同的兩件事。問：市場究竟是在反映現實，還是在改造現實？ 答：批評者認為，允許人們在核戰或暗殺上賭博，會產生道德風險，甚至誘使有影響力的人為利益而推波助瀾。但另一種看法認為，政治和軍事事件的發生，根本上由更深層的結構性因素決定，並非預測市場所能左右。拿走賭注，不等於阻止事件發生；反而是讓公眾在沒有任何早期預警的情況下，面對已成定局的現實。問：對於普通人來說，預測市場的最終價值是什麼？ 答：在一個政府和傳媒都可能有意無意地過濾資訊的時代，預測市場提供了一個相對獨立、由真實金錢驅動的資訊聚合機制。它不是完美的，也不是完全公平的，但它讓個人有機會在主觀願望之外，獲得一個較為客觀的風險評估基準，從而為自己和身邊的人作出更有根據的決定。 This is a public episode.

Send us a textLieutenant General Tony Hale, the Army G-2, joins Joe for a conversation on military intelligence, judgment, and decision-making in modern war. Drawing on nearly four decades of service, Hale reflects on the evolution of the intelligence profession—from red pens and acetate maps to AI-enabled platforms—and why human judgment still matters most.Hale shares his path into military intelligence, challenges common misconceptions about the field, and explains why intelligence is foundational to maneuver, lethality, and command. From battalion S2 shops to JSOC, Afghanistan, and the Army's highest intelligence roles, he offers a clear view of how intelligence professionals shape outcomes across every echelon.They discuss the responsibility of “putting your rank on the table,” developing junior analysts, and creating environments where ideas matter more than hierarchy. The conversation also explores self-development, operating amid disinformation, balancing OSINT with historical context, and how AI can enhance—but never replace— disciplined thinking.In this episode, LTG Hale and Joe explore:Why “lethality starts with intelligence”The role of intelligence in enabling decision dominanceMaking analytical calls under uncertaintyDeveloping confident, capable intelligence professionalsThe limits of AI and the enduring value of human judgmentPreparing for future conflict while mastering the fundamentalsWhether you're an intelligence professional, commander, or leader navigating uncertainty, this conversation is a reminder that seeing clearly—and thinking well—remains the decisive advantage.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.
