### What does OSINT Industries do?

OSINT Industries provides a real‑time OSINT platform that scans open web sources on demand, avoiding static databases, to return relevant intelligence about a subject’s public digital presence. It supports multiple investigative use cases including law enforcement, cybersecurity, journalism, AML, and fraud detection.

**The lowdown:** It enriches simple identifiers into comprehensive digital footprints and provides tools to visualise and export findings.

### How to Use:

**1. Enter an identifier (email, phone number, username, name, or wallet) and let the platform search in real time across potentially thousands of public sources.**&#x20;

Our example search scanned 421 sources.&#x20;

**2. Review generated intelligence, linked accounts, breaches, locations, activity timelines, etc.**

For example. you can review data including when the user was last seen on different platforms:

Breached accounts:

And click individual account cards to reveal varying information about the user including potential first and last names, profile images, bio and location data:
