From AI Limits to Emerging Threat Trends (Issue 210)

A snapshot of evolving analyst workflows, new community challenges and tools, and key developments shaping today’s OSINT landscape.

Hi everyone, OSINT Jobs team here.

This week we look at how analysts handle the limits of AI extraction, why diverse perspectives strengthen intelligence work, and how social media algorithms shape what young users see.

We also highlight this year’s OSINT and CTF Advent challenges, new tools for monitoring threats and processing images, and updates on custom AI agents for workflow automation.

In industry news, we cover federal use of OSINT platforms, attempts to manipulate conflict maps for betting markets, new research on AI-driven political influence, and a live sting operation that exposed a North Korean hacking team.
