Wtf is "open sourced intelligence"? Is it another name for "armchair internet sleuths"?
There is literally a definition in the article...
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is defined as intelligence produced by collecting, evaluating and analysing publicly available information.
So like when Reddit found the Boston Bomber, gotcha.
I'll take this with a grain of salt.
Not really, because even some news stations now access this public available data and checked it with their sources. Good example would be Bucha where those sources were used to verify the crimes that happend there. But yeah of course you always need a trustful source which uses this data.
Good starting point is to go to official news pages and avoid social media like twitter, Reddit or even lemmy until those news is proven.
Big fucking difference but sure if it’s not an individual hired directly by some govt it must be akin to a redditor!
Give me a fuckin break
Example of the power of OSINT: https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/jan-6-series-how-osint-powered-the-largest-criminal-investigation-in-us-history/
Law enforcement also used geofence data (obtained via search warrant) and flight records to place her at the Capitol riot. Indeed, charging documents show that many of the January 6 defendants were identified by law enforcement using these triangulation methods — largely based on OSINT — to piece together proof that they were involved. The challenge of the reliability of OSINT data was able to be overcome through the large amount of digital evidence available.
Have you actually ready any of it yourself? Or are you just passing armchair judgement based solely on headlines?
Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s all bullshit.
You know how reddit thought they caught the Boston bomber?
It's like that, except on Twitter.
It absolutely is not LIkE tHaT, who is upvoting this brain dead take?
Many teams from different countries have seen and also agreed on a lot of the details that do not support an Israeli rocket narrative, it’s absolutely relevant information and is part of how the war crimes in Bucha ukr was uncovered publicly.
Furthermore, we have other examples as to the effectiveness
ISD’s review of Capitol riot charging documents indicates that the size of January 6’s digital footprint and the use of OSINT in criminal filings against Capitol rioters led to more reliable investigative findings and safer investigations, but that domestic extremists moved to alternative platforms and have become more careful of their digital footprint going forward
The credibility and reliability of sources has been a consistent challenge for OSINT. With the sheer size of January 6’s digital footprint, however, multiple sources of digital evidence could corroborate and triangulate each other. In the case of one defendant, law enforcement observed her in the New York Times visual investigation “Day of Rage” marching to the Capitol and confronting police at the steps of the building. She was also found in a video taken by another rioter. Surveillance video from the Capitol shows her entering and walking through the building. She later posted a photo from January 6 on Instagram of the area around the Capitol building, while other content from her Instagram and MeWe profiles assisted in further identifying her along with her prior extremist activity. Law enforcement also used geofence data (obtained via search warrant) and flight records to place her at the Capitol riot. Indeed, charging documents show that many of the January 6 defendants were identified by law enforcement using these triangulation methods — largely based on OSINT — to piece together proof that they were involved. The challenge of the reliability of OSINT data was able to be overcome through the large amount of digital evidence available.
And ya know what? That same corroboration is what is being pointed to (geo-located positions, live camera feeds of the explosions, sat photos showing launch vectors, etc): https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-hamas-gaza-explosion-hospital-b2431631.html
Big fucking difference to some fucking morons on leddit that thought they recognized a backpack or clothes or whatever
It's genuine intel but needs to be verified thoroughly. I will believe it once it hits reputable news sources.
Which are? For example in Germany the Tagesschau is a quite reputable source and they are also using these OSINT sources to back the story up.
Reuters, NPR, NYT. I'm not going to deny facts, I would just like to be sure. Israel has enough war crimes for me to hate them over.
