🧵 [THREAD] Unmasking an influence operation on @LinkedInFrance using #OSINT 🔍

#influence #manipulation #fraud #scam👇[1/11] Image
[❓] Do you know Stéphane Birenhac ?
I don't, but my colleague and I have several relationships in common with him, and he himself obviously knows 9000 people on #LinkedIn.
A month ago, he was at 8500. Nice progression! 🔝 [2/11] Image
🕵️♂️ Very popular, Mr Birenhac has an enviable position. He presents well, coherent background and auditor at the @Courdescomptes.
❌ Problem : he doesn't exist! Several elements show that it is a #fake. Let's recap ⤵️

🥸 The profile picture was generated by the artificial intelligence : thispersondoesntexist.com
✅ Good to know, @BriceLeBorgne made a bot to detect them➡️ @DoesThisPerson

👨🎓 He does not appear in the alumni directory of @IPAGBS, which he allegedly attended between 2003 and 2007.

📧 He does not have an email address from the Cour des Comptes, where he is supposed to have worked for 9 years and no mention of him on the official website

📰 Moreover, no appointment appears in the Official Journal #JOF, whereas this information is public for auditors at the Cour des Comptes #Legifrance

1️⃣ The surname Birenhac is nowhere to be found! No Birenhac is present on social networks and, according to geopatronyme.com (a @filaecom website), only one Birenhac would be born in France in the 20th century, between 1941 and 1965!

👨‍💻 The recent technological progress made in terms of generating images, sounds and videos by algorithms (machine learning) has not finished feeding scams and frauds of all kinds.
[9/11]
📍 The research work done for this post is purely informative. In the course of my work for the intelligence company Axis&Co (integrity investigations, compliance, anti-fraud, actor mapping, etc.) we are confronted with these issues on a daily basis.

🚀 Our response: to continuously train in the latest #OSINT techniques, capitalize on our knowledge of information sources and improve our #Elephantastic platform 🐘
🤡 Concerning Stephane, if you have been contacted by him, we're curious to know what he could ask you.
