Kirby speaks at PFIC Fall Session: Crypto Creepers: Unmasking Telegram’s Bitcoin Bandits with OSINT
Crypto Creepers: Unmasking Telegram’s Bitcoin Bandits with OSINT
This presentation delves into the use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques to investigate and expose illicit activities involving Bitcoin within the Telegram messaging platform. As cryptocurrency adoption grows, so does its exploitation by malicious actors. This abstract outlines how OSINT methodologies can be applied to track, identify, and attribute criminal activity, focusing on case studies of individuals or groups leveraging Telegram for scams, fraud, and other Bitcoin-related offenses. Attendees will gain insights into the specific OSINT tools and strategies employed to uncover digital footprints, connect disparate data points, and ultimately unmask the identities and operations of these "Bitcoin bandits."
