Hi everyone, OSINT Jobs team here.
This week, we cover how the OSINT market is booming, with forecasts predicting it will more than double in size by 2033. We also take a look at new legislation in the U.S. that could reshape how open-source intelligence is managed across the intelligence community (if it survives Congress…). From Disinfo25, we share reflections on the West’s “crisis of genre” in countering disinformation.
In terms of tips, Google Earth’s new AI features promise stronger geospatial analysis, while a new framework offers fresh tools for panoramic image geolocation. In terms of investigations, we share a full OSINT field manual, along with a framework to investigate corporations. Finally we talk about Tor & AI generated videos (and how to spot them).
As always, we spent the week monitoring the latest developments in the industry so you don’t have to. In just 5 minutes of reading this newsletter, you spare yourself hours of scrolling on socials!
