THREAD

On all cool #OSINT techniques & tools I come across over the rest of my life.

That's what happened when you get bored on a Saturday afternoon after trying to understand some advanced image forensics.

Also aiming to make this the longest thread in @Twitter history.

@Twitter

@Twitter Re image forensics, let's begin with #photogrammetry.

Here is a brilliant article by @Sector035, explaining how to measure the distance between an object in a photo and the camera that took the photo.

@OsintCurious is a great resource by the way!

@Twitter

This is a @Twitter thread I'll build over time.

One tweet a day.

That's how I plan to beat the world's record of the longest thread.

#osintthread

Some translation services index your searches and yes, those can be exploited.

Great piece by @AccessOSINT. Thanks to @MwOsint for sharing it.

Who killed Russian politician Boris Nemtsov?

Last Monday — as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock — @bellingcat, @the_ins_ru & us at #BBCEyeInvestigations released an investigation that uncovered new important evidence.

This thread tells you what we found...

#NemtsovsShadow

In the evening of February 27th, 2015, Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin — was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Five Chechens were jailed for the murder, but the key questions of who hired them for that and why remained unanswered.

Who was Boris Nemtsov?

He burst onto the scene in the 1990s and seemed to embody the hope — shared by millions of Russians — that a prosperous and democratic country might emerge from the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Five Chechens were jailed for the murder, but the key questions of who hired them for that and why remained unanswered.

@bellingcat

Seven years later, an investigation by our team #BBCEyeInvestigations — working with @bellingcat and @the_ins_ru — reveals that, in the year running up to his murder, Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad.

According to his documents, the agent’s name is Valery Nikolayevich Sukharev — and all the evidence indicates he serves with the FSB.

@bellingcat

The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) responded with wild claims devoid of any substantial evidence to the forensic investigations done by #BBCAfricaEye, @bellingcat, @Newsy, @CNN & @amnesty on the Mahbere Dego massacre in #Tigray.

A thread factchecking their response.

The ENDF response was made on April 7 by Indoctrination Director-General Major General Mohammed Tessema.

The section that is about the media investigations into the Mahbere Dego massacre starts at 45:45 and ends at 53:00 in this YouTube video:

Major General Tessema's main claim is that the massacre was staged by the TPLF, which then sent the videos to international media to get the Ethiopian government condemned.

Not only Major General Tessema produces zero evidence for that, but he also makes factual errors.

@AyandaCharlie_

Will Crowd1 make you a millionaire or penniless?

For months, #BBCAfricaEye and @AyandaCharlie_ investigated this company. Under the shiny surface, we found some ugly truths, wealthy scammers, and a whole pyramid of lies.

This is the real story of #Crowd1 and the #PyramidKings.

This is how it starts.

Someone sends you a message about an amazing opportunity - an easy way to make money with nothing more than your smartphone and some hustle.

If you check out Crowd1 on social media, this is what you see.

Cruises. Cars. New houses.

Amazing promo videos. Massive events. Millions of members.

You just came across the company @_beofficial and are thinking about investing with them?

A thread about why it would be a bad idea to do that and give money to its founders, the Islam brothers.

@_beofficial

Last May, website (befactor.com) of the new Dubai-based company @_beofficial and its related social media accounts went live.

@_beofficial

On its website and in promotional videos, @_beofficial says it "has created simple steps that already allowed people from all walks of life, regardless of their race, background, and skill-set to build a multi-million dollar business from their smartphone while traveling."
