What OSINT means in investigations

OSINT (open-source intelligence) refers to publicly available information that can support a case. In crypto-related cases, this may include blockchain transaction traces, exchange footprints, exposed accounts, and links between identifiers.

The goal is to build a documented trail that can support legal processes.
