OSINT Proven. Part 1 of case insights from FBI and cross-border scam operations.

How does OSINT perform when the stakes are highest?

Building on OSINT Unlocked, this LinkedIn Live session moves from mindset into real-world application. This session marks Part 1 of a two-part OSINT Proven series, focused on high-pressure investigations conducted by global law enforcement agencies.

Join Altia’s Toby Langston and Dave Sampson, alongside guest investigator Larry Cameron, as they break down two complex investigations where open-source intelligence played a decisive role in delivering outcomes that stood up to scrutiny.

This first session goes beyond theory to examine how OSINT operates in live investigative environments. Through real case walkthroughs, you will see how investigators transformed fragmented open-source signals into trusted, defensible intelligence during FBI and Interpol operations.

Part 2 of this series will expand further into large-scale fraud infrastructure and Myanmar-based scam networks.

Why watch

If OSINT Unlocked focused on how investigators think, OSINT Proven shows how that thinking holds up in real investigations.
