In today&#8217;s workshop, we are flipping the script. You are going to step into the shoes of a digital investigator using Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT. Instead of just talking about fake news and fraud, you will be actively hunting it down. By the end of this session, you will have hands-on experience using the exact tools that cybersecurity analysts and investigative journalists use to verify photos, expose sketchy websites, and trace the origins of viral claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule for today is simple: stop trusting, and start verifying. Let&#8217;s get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NB: Please bring your laptop with you if possible, so you can participate in the hands-on exercises!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diana Poudel<\/strong> is a digital and media literacy trainer and a PhD candidate in information resilience at the University of Tartu.
