Proton Flock Camera Map is a ZIP-code search map of Flock license plate reader locations. Its data comes from researcher Joshua Michael, who found in November 2025 that Flock's servers exposed an access token to anyone without login, and published his map in December. His inventory lists over 170,000 cameras and 130,000 other devices, about 40% above Flock's cited 120,000 cameras. The page also covers what Flock records and cites a Washington Post review of officer misuse.

The piece uses OSINT techniques — corporate registry tracing, shared-hosting IP correlation, DNS lookups, and court filing cross-referencing — to map operator Kotaro Shimogori's decade-long history running shell payment processors (ComCopious, iCanPay, AuthPay, Pan Digital Network) for high-risk clients including gambling sites and, per the forfeiture complaint, impersonation-fraud scam proceeds funneled through Chase accounts. It also details EQIBank's EQIFi/EQX DeFi token, and links Marlin Capital Partners and Deltec Bank figures to Tether's banking history, drawing parallels to the earlier Crypto Capital Corp seizure.

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT published a 12-part thread detailing how he spent months posing as a client of a Chinese money-laundering network to prove it laundered over $1 billion for North Korea's Lazarus Group, including a large share of the ~$1.5 billion Bybit hack (FBI codename TraderTraitor). He cross-referenced the operators' private messages with on-chain data — including a wallet receiving fees from Bybit-hack-linked addresses and THORChain bridge transfer timing/amounts matching what operators disclosed — turning chat screenshots into verifiable blockchain evidence. The laundering network converted BTC into ETH, Solana and Tron, used THORChain for cross-chain hops, and parked funds in low-volume Uniswap pools; the investigation led Tether to freeze 442,000 USDT, part of over $75 million ZachXBT claims to have gotten frozen from North Korea-linked hacks since 2022.

The piece details the on-chain corroboration methods used (matching Telegram screenshots to Thorchain swap timing, wallet clustering across BTC/ETH/SOL/Tron) that exposed a $12M+ cluster of Bybit exploit funds, led to a 442K USDT Tether freeze, and separately traced $3M in fraud proceeds to Huione Guarantee, a Cambodian marketplace later targeted by FinCEN and shut down by Telegram.

PhishDestroy's shortdot-evidence is a daily-updated GitHub investigation into ShortDot SA, the Luxembourg registry operator behind the .icu, .bond, .cyou, .sbs, .cfd, .buzz and .qpon gTLDs, documenting that 51,985+ tracked domains impersonate brands like Chase, Binance, MetaMask and Ledger and that ~70% of registered domains in these zones carry no DNS records (metric-padding rather than legitimate use). It publishes machine-generated IOC/blocklist files and analytics built from a per-TLD zone-file pull cross-referenced against Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, OpenPhish, URLhaus, PhishTank and AlienVault OTX, and ties the zones to concrete criminal cases (FBI's LabHost domain list, Google v. DOES/Yucheng Chang RICO suits, the Revolver Rabbit XLoader/Formbook C2 campaign using 500k+ .bond domains). It also details structural conflicts of interest between ShortDot, its registry infrastructure provider Team Internet Group/CentralNic, registrar partner NameSilo, and the brand-protection vendor NameBlock, backed by Interisle Consulting Group phishing-volume statistics.

A researcher deanonymizes INC ransomware's Tor negotiation panel (incpaykabjqc2mtdxq6c23nqh4x6m5dkps5fr6vgdkgzp5njssx6qkid.onion) to a real IP (178.20.41.208, Russia, nginx/Yii PHP backend) running on unusual port 1002, then reverse-engineers the panel's bundled React/Redux/Socket.io JavaScript to map its API endpoints, socket events, JWT-based auth, and leak/ransom-tracking features. The piece also correlates nine clearweb domains and ~170 IPs used by the group over 2023–2025 (65% Russia-hosted, CDN rotation patterns, Cloudflare fronting on one domain) and analyzes 108 ransomware builder samples to infer RaaS versioning, a 2024 forum sale, and links to spin-off groups Lynx and Sinobi.

An OSINT investigator analyzes a WorldLeaks ransomware group data leak of Reliance Infrastructure (hosted by third-party vendor Yotta), which exposed 14.3GB / ~19,000 files related to India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) — including RFC drawings, PPS fencing designs, HVAC/fire specs, and vendor/employee records. The piece profiles WorldLeaks (a Hive/Hunters International spin-off), lists MD5/SHA-256 hashes for its RustyRocket exfiltration tool, and discusses supply-chain vendor risk, industrial espionage by nation-state actors (Lazarus/DPRK, China), and insider credential trading as threats to critical nuclear infrastructure.

Huntress details ConsentFix, an evolution of ClickFix that abuses Microsoft 365 OAuth sign-in flows: victims are phished via password-protected Dropbox or DocSend lures, shown a fake Microsoft sign-in page, and tricked into dragging a localhost callback link into their browser, which exfiltrates OAuth tokens and hijacks the session without needing a password or triggering MFA. A cybercrime forum post published the full technique with working code and infrastructure such as Cloudflare Pages, workers.dev, and Pipedream webhooks, and showed attackers using LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and Hunter.io to profile victims before sending lures.
