Unchartered

Data breaches happen daily around the world, and sensitive information is leaked, which makes it a lot easier for bad guys to commit crimes like identity theft, fraud, breaking and entering, and more. But bad guys don't even need this data to start developing a dossier on a potential victim. They can find your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) online, which may include your address, phone number, email, family members, associates, and more. Further, if you are sharing too much personal information on social media, that can be used against you to identify more about your habits, places you frequent, what your home looks like, vehicles, other assets, etc. We are just scratching the surface here. But at Unchartered, one of our primary products is our Threat and Vulnerability Assessments, which help identify your exposed data that a bad guy could use against you and we provide you with a plan to keep you safer online. We've done these for C-suite executives, social media influencers, athletes, VCs, attorneys, and people who don't fall into these categories but want to have fewer vulnerabilities online. Reach out if you want to know more.

Unchartered had an outstanding January, helping clients with everything from due diligence to identifying malign influence, and protecting assets. We also had the opportunity to train many people on open-source intelligence at intermediate and advanced levels. At Unchartered, we focus on using open-source intelligence to meet your information demands, aim to strengthen your organization's security posture and mitigate any potential risks to you or your business. In addition, we have 17 language capabilities, so we aren't just doing open-source intelligence research and investigations with a U.S. focus. It's a good time for OSINT. We hope you had a great January as well.

When you have a conference or trade show, vetting attendees should be mandatory. Do not accept cash, a prepaid debit card, or Visa gift cards for attendants. All of these options make it much easier for potential criminals to steal from you and should they commit a crime, it will be much more challenging to identify who they are. This happened recently at a card show in Texas. Millions of dollars in rare cards were stolen. It is all too common for a lack of due diligence to take place with conferences and trade shows. But by taking the time to check for criminal history, patterns of inflammatory behavior online, looking at social media footprints and activity, and associations with any potential entities or groups of concern, you minimize your risk.
