Many of you have noticed that I haven’t published an issue in a while. Sorry about silence. I’ve had some life events come up that I’ve had to prioritize. Thank you for your support but the newsletter is paused at the moment. Updates again soon.

I’m coming back from being off the grid. There will be no issue of The OSINT Newsletter this week.
