What is even OSINT? OSINT at its core stands for open-source intelligence and Wikipedia defines it as follows:
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources (overt and publicly available sources) to produce actionable intelligence.
OSINT is used by various entities to gain information or insights on specific topics. Insurance companies, for example, use OSINT to assess the risk of their insurance policies. Other areas where OSINT is used on a daily basis include the military, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, banks and, of course, cyber criminals.
