I made a newsletter. I went overboard with detail, but I love sharing #OSINT tips and tricks. I've covered: - Innovations & resources. - Free detailed aerial imagery tool. - DIY power grid map. - Analysis of leaked data on mass censorship & surveillance. osintfieldnotes.substack.com/p/osint-fiel...

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification www.404media.co/the-discord-...

Love em or hate em, this is some good stuff. I hope they actually get into the hands of those that have been targeted or are likely targets.
