Transparency of geolocation of footage of refugees moving west through Geneina/Al-Junaynah (الجنينة) in #Darfur, Sudan, along the main road that cuts through the middle of the city. Geolocated to here: goo.gl/maps/qXqbVUdiV… ImageImageImageImage
Footage indicates area where attack occurred in Geneina (الجنينة) #Sudan. This video was filmed from here: goo.gl/maps/Um9vbZrRT… & shows smoke rising from the far east side of the city near TAH6 highway. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising
Geolocation of video situates origin of footage at fuel station on east outskirt of #Geneina (#الجنينة). His bearing to the black&white water tower is about 307° from the fuel pumps. Smoke is behind that. He was standing here: goo.gl/maps/1SXx1sutS… #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising ImageImageImageImage
By observing the geolocation of the video above, and the direction the cameraman was standing when he filmed it, I have identified a likely area of east #Geneina (#الجنينة) in Sudan's Darfur, where the burning happened. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising
NASA Worldview's @NASAEarthData MODIS fire anomaly detection layer shows multiple fires in east of #Geneina (#الجنينة) #Sudan on Dec 30. Resolution is not too clear, but I have provided @googleearth imagery for reference. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising

I have received a number of messages asking about the location of this IL-76 (RA-76502) from Russian Aviacon Zitotrans (usually responsible for arms cargo).

It is not landing in Sudan (alleged in the comments), but is landing in Faya-Largeau in northern Chad. More in thread 👇 Image
I identified an original and more clear version on TikTok (not hard if you want to find it). In it, we can see the registration number of the plane much more clearly, as well as the dune and cliffs in the background.
The registration, RA-76502 that had been owned by JSC Aviacon Zitotrans, named by US as "a Russian cargo airline that has handled cargo shipments for sanctioned Russian Federation defense entities". Image

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. As digital investigators we're often not experiencing what we see online, in real life, but it can still affect many.

So to keep doing the important documentation and investigative work online, here's a few practical steps you can take.👇
1. When sharing graphic content with colleagues and friends, remove those previews and give a little graphic warning indicator. There's always a little 'X' in the corner to remove preview. Image
2. Consider changing the settings on your social media platforms so you're not absorbing horrific content while doomscrolling. You don't have to filter it out, but at least stop the autoplay. Image

I was recently on a flight across Australia when I spotted this massive figure on the ground. It led me on a digital journey to find out what it was, how it got there and who made it.

I'm going to explain a bit more about what it is in this thread, and how I found out. 👇🧵
Image
Image
Without internet on the plane, I made a screenshot on my phone of the location (yes it was on flight mode) and later used flight tracking to pinpoint exactly where I saw it.

Using @flightradar24, I traced the path my plane took and found the spot!
Image
Image
Next stop: @googleearth 🗺️

I zoomed into the area and there it was — this huge humanoid figure etched in the Australian outback. Measuring 2.7km tall and covering an area of more than 1.7 square kilometres, it's a sight to behold.

Here's the location: -29.527084, 137.465400

Despite our reporting last week on the fake network of pro-Trump MAGA accounts, there appears to be many more accounts actively posting the exact same content. This one, @brenda_otto_ with 18k+ followers, is stealing photos from an Australian Instagram model in Queensland.

Image
Image
Here's another fake MAGA account, @Tracy_Miller044, stealing images from a fashion blogger (a popular one too).

@Tracy_Miller044 - if you want to reach out and talk about your work, why you're running these campaigns etc, I'm open.

Here is @Sarah_Hickey__

Sarah is stealing the photos of a Czech Instagram influencer to create a persona claiming to be a MAGA republican conservative with 40k+ followers and a blue tick (which means it's apparently not misleading).

A network of fake accounts are posing as young American women, posting pro-Trump content and disinformation, but they’re hiding behind, and manipulating, the images of European fashion influencers.

Our latest investigation at @Cen4infoRes. Details in this thread 🧵👇 Image
Our full analysis can be seen at @Cen4infoRes here: . We also collaborated with @CNN to dig out the human stories behind those who had their photos stolen

Let's look at the some details below 👇info-res.org/post/unmasking…
edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/eur…
One of the accounts is Eva. She lives in the US, and likes hanging out at the beach and posting to her 5000+ followers on X. Eva posts strong opinions against LGBTQ people and the US Democratic party and is a loyal supporter of former US president Donald Trump. Image
