Why is #Telegram important for #OSINT?

Forbes said it best:
"There’s nothing quite like Telegram. A messaging platform you might use with your friends and colleagues, but which is also notorious for its use by criminals and terrorists, and which has almost become an easy access version of the dark web."..."the platform has been infamous almost since its beginning for shielding illicit content from authorities".

This is a good article describing the illicit activities that go on, on Telegram:

All of this data is...aaalmost hiding in plain sight. We help investigators remove the shadows surrounding this app by teaching them how to properly investigate and extract data, find pivot points, and analyze group & channel traffic.

"Analysts need to learn to apply structured reasoning to their intuitive thinking"

Useful read, especially if you are leading a team of analysts.
The paper reminds us that critical thinking is not as innate as we like to believe. It is hard work that requires structured reasoning, the right guidance, and practice until it becomes internalized.

Why read it:

🔸️Differentiates what critical thinking is, what it is not
🔸️Explains why it matters in intel work
🔸️Provides real-life examples of intel failures due to flawed reasoning
🔸️Gives key concepts of critical thinking in a short & comprehensive format
