Best wishes to all! And may 2026 be a year when queues form in front of the ticket offices on the right. 😉 (source of the image: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...)

Glad that we have highlighted our analysis which bears witness to the material destruction that not only damages property but also harms children severely.

Therefore, the majority of the Trump family’s fortune is vulnerable to theft by hackers. Quod erat demonstrandum

Our community is not a tiny one anymore. Of course you can't do with 104 what you could do with 19. But you can't do with 19 what you could do with 104. So we're adapting, and are happy to welcome you, new folks! I look forward to working with all of you...

Does crossing information mean crossing narratives? 😉

Our team is used to working in the shade, but can also work in direct sunlight... 😉 #civilianharm

🔔 GOOD NEWS! Before I tell you more, I'd like to urge you once again to NEVER contact anyone when conducting open source research to help the authorities. 🤐 The beginning of the year has been rich in investigations. After 4️⃣ reports sent to the FBI, we sent 1️⃣ report to Europol two weeks ago...

Fière de vous avoir fait vivre un des challenges mais aussi d'avoir remporté ce badge @osint4fun.bsky.social malgré une lutte acharnée avec de nombreux passionnés en OSINT de la sphère francophone. 🤺 eu.badgr.com/public/asser...

Happy new year! Enjoy your research and analysis! Tip 2025: Don't let the similarities fool you. ✨

We wanted it, @bellingcat.com's Tech Team has done it! Listen to @galen.reich.me.uk explain how to use very easily this geospatial research tool which helps enormously when you need to cover an area, alone or with others.

Hahaha, I'm roasted! Check out my candid portrait, written by... an AI. blueskyroast.com/roast/stepha...

Some food for thought about how to collaborate with/as volunteers in open source investigations. (Panel that Giancarlo Fiorella, Aric Toler, Viktorija Ignataviciute and I formed a few days ago, for @bellingcat.com's 10th anniversary.) www.youtube.com/live/0DM8bPI...

Visual summary of the identifications that we, investigators of the @osintfr.bsky.social community, have sent in detail to the FBI since they published this poster on August. None of them alone give a precise location of the crime scene, so we are showing you these images in their entirety.

Our article ‘35 days of investigation to decode 2,500 pixels’, co-written with StarMD, has now been translated into English! #OSINT #TraceAnObject #Europol

Once again, I have some good news! After a month of searching, the solidarity and tenacity of @osintfr.bsky.social's volunteers has made it possible to identify the uniform shown here www.europol.europa.eu/stopchildabu.... and to geolocate the victim's school. #TraceAnObject #StopChildAbuse (1/3)

Ce sont les vacances et vous avez envie de faire du puzzle ? Retrouvons-nous durant 2 heures pour participer à la présentation en ligne de Tickle sur ces deux spécialités de l'OSINT que j'affectionne tant : la recherche par l'image #IMINT et la recherche géospatiale #GEOINT.

Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) published a new object as part of its Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP). Thanks to an unnoticed lead on Reddit, we, a group of volunteers meeting on the @osintfr.bsky.social Discord server, investigated and proved that it was...

#OPSEC 🇨🇵 Ne faites pas les pies, ne foncez pas sur tout ce qui brille... 🇬🇧 Don't be a magpie, don't go for everything that glitters...

An article written in March 2022. It's nice to see how far we've come since then... #OSINT #warcrimes

My presentation on identification and geolocation of objects for the Australian Federal Police, Europol and the FBI will take place tomorrow, in French. Here is the summary!

Safeguarding your mental health and that of your collaborators is essential for the rest of what you want to do, so I can't recommend enough that you take this subject seriously - others have fallen before you.

We will be launching these investigations. If you'd like to take part, join us on the @osintfr.bsky.social Discord server (French-speaking) or contact me by replying here, or by private message.

Early 2024 calendar for our French-language conferences. In March, several investigators from the community (not just me) will be talking to you about tracking objects 🕵️ spotted in photographed or filmed crime scenes (identification, geolocation). Several ways, several tips! 🎁

Happy new year! Enjoy your research and analysis! Tip 2024: Take a step back and talk to your peers. ✨

✨ Enjoy the end of the year! ✨ In the meantime, with part of the @bellingcat.com team and the volunteer researchers from its Global Authentication Project 🌍🌏🌎 we're continuing to feed this map which covers the entire period since 24 February 2022. Your feedback is of course most welcome!

And another copy of this vintage bedframe made available to the authorities! Good colour, even if it's of little importance. Same geolocation, and this is important. We archived the source and sent our report last night. bsky.app/profile/step... and www.accce.gov.au/what-we-do/t...

What a great Friday evening! We, volunteer investigators from the @osintfr.bsky.social community, helped the Australian authorities put a stop to child abuse.

Get your online translators ready*, StarMD and I have written a long article in French about identifying and geolocating a wanted item under the FBI Endangered Children Alert Program! Seeking your comment. * e.g. lnkd.in/ewj3yCkK

And we have an exact match and a geolocation for ECAP 14 from the Endangered Child Alert Program led by the FBI. Superimposed comparison: imgsli.com/MjA1NDEz. France is the only country where ONYX acetone is distributed. Thanks @osintfr.bsky.social for the community's commitment to this research.

Nouvel article reprenant notre investigation via sources ouvertes au sujet d'une nébuleuse internationale d'entreprises utilisant des appâts sur les réseaux sociaux et des sites Internet d'enregistrement de paiements. Comment repérer l'arnaque via OSINT / cyberinvestigation ? Et qui est derrière ?

Our find of the day with a volunteer community of investigators from the OSINT-FR Discord platform, for Europol's TraceAnObject StopChildAbuse initiative. So happy and proud of our hard and successful research!

I haven't been on Twitter for a long time, but you can take a look at what I've posted there (mainly: OSINT, TraceAnObject, StopChildAbuse). I'm still looking for the exact can of Tetramin fish food for Europol: twitter.com/Stephan97660... . Investigators, if you want to join, you're welcome !
