Welcome to our blog on OSINT (Open Source INTelligence) at ACM Investigations!

OSINT refers to the practice of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information from publicly available sources. It is a crucial tool for investigations, as it allows us to gather information and evidence that can be used to build a case.

At ACM Investigations, we use a variety of OSINT tools and techniques to aid us in our investigations. Some of these tools include search engines, social media platforms, public databases, and other online resources. By combing through these sources, we are able to uncover valuable information that can help us understand the people, places, and events involved in a case.

One example of how we have used OSINT in our investigations is in a case involving a missing person. By scouring social media accounts and online directories, we were able to locate and speak with potential witnesses and gather important details about the person’s movements and activities leading up to their disappearance. This information helped us narrow down our search and ultimately led to the safe recovery of the missing person.

Another example is a case involving financial fraud. By using OSINT tools to access public financial records and documents, we were able to uncover a complex network of shell companies and fraudulent transactions. This information was crucial in building a strong case against the perpetrators and ultimately led to their prosecution.

OSINT is a powerful tool for investigations, but it is important to use it ethically and within the bounds of the law. At ACM Investigations, we are dedicated to conducting thorough and legal investigations, and OSINT plays a key role in helping us achieve this.
