New Blog:
AI isnβt just supporting OSINT β itβs distorting it.
Hallucinations, poisoned data, synthetic narrativesβ¦ and leadership often canβt see it happening.
My new blog digs into this shift with examples, risks, and what must change.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links
If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.
For all my #OSINT peeps, archive [dot] today has been DDOSing a blog and is using its visitors as unwilling participants in this attack. Read about it here (arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...) and from this blog gyrovague.com.
And consider removing this archiving tool from your kit.

New Blog:
Fatigue is the invisible corruption of intelligence work.
It dulls intuition, erodes skepticism, and makes analysts trust tools more than their own reasoning.
#OSINT doesnβt fail when data runs out.
It fails when curiosity does.

Zwei MΓ€nner in einer Videokonferenz mit Mikrofon und KopfhΓΆrern. Links Samuel (OSINTgeek), rechts Matthias (Nicht OSINTgeek). Beide lachen herzlich. Oben steht βOSINT Studio". Am unteren Bildrand sind Bedienelemente von Riverside.
Wer ist eigentlich dieser OSINTgeek?
Hin und wieder landen Anfragen bei mir, die eigentlich fΓΌr Matthias gedacht sind und umgekehrt.
In der frisch aufgezeichneten Folge von OSINT Studio haben wir das endlich geklΓ€rt:
ποΈ Samuel = @osintgeek.de
ποΈ Matthias = Nicht OSINTgeek, sondern @plosint.com

When analyzing satellite images of the target location, don't forget about alternative sources. For example, Apple Maps.
The images are almost as detailed as Google's, but were taken at a different time and therefore show additional details.

Why is GitHub restricting accounts that share OSINT and dark web resources?
At least half a dozen repos or entire accounts were recently banned or blocked from public access
GitHub recently restricted access to repos filed with OSINT/dark web/infosec links and resources. I spoke to multiple people that had their accounts blocked from public view without warning or explanation.
