This year I have also witnessed first-hand more requests to do what I refer to as the 'dark arts' of open source.

Caprico
The volatility of cryptocurrency has given attackers a lucrative target to gain some sort of profit without causing major disruptions to affected systems.
Christina Lekati
Focus on learning to apply good OSINT methodology more than relying on tools.
Christopher Hadnagy
Human Hacking or Social Engineering is about learning how to communicate with intent.
Eliot Higgins
I think there will be a continued interest from justice and accountability organisations in the use of open source evidence in their work...
Griffin
The other side of the double-edged OSINT popularity sword in this case is mis-identification (and in worse cases, doxing).
Julia Bayer
Digital verification is not just about tools. Essential are our human senses.
Justin Seitz
In my line of work I actually saw an increase in the number of survivors of crime who are self-teaching as a means to both protect themselves and to help fight their own fights.
Micah Hoffman
I love how the OSINT community is strengthening and growing. I'm seeing more people willing to share tools, tactics, and techniques with ever widening audiences.
Michael James
Information and Coffee keep the world moving...
Nico Dekens
The good trend is that I see the OSINT community grow. People helping each other in case work as well as sharing knowledge.
OSINT Combine
A greater uptake in the value of OSINT across public & private sectors to support intelligence based decision making...
Ritu Gill
I noticed a trend of people using alternative social media platforms which made OSINT more interesting in that...
Salaheldinaz
We grow together as a community, make sure to give back to help educate others, and secure the world.
Sinwindie
OSINT, like most things, is constantly changing and evolving
Steven Harris
Many organizations are realising the benefit of hiring skilled intelligence analysts the jobs market for people with good analysis skills seems to be growing.
Tangy Tayto
Deepfake technology has really taken off in 2021. The technology is growing faster than we are able to detect it...
Terry Pattar
The heart of the problem for many organisations comes in managing and understanding their intelligence requirements and to that end
Webjitsu
I've noticed that OSINT is continuing to mature as an independent discipline in its own right, but public recognition of the true value of OSINT still has a way to go.
Wondersmith Rae
Many companies are beginning to figure out how OSINT can benefit them which means lots of opportunities for newcomers.

I've seen a significant trend of more individuals and organisations take up the flashy side of OSINT, but not the detailed side of those traits.
ChatGPT
In 2022, OSINT saw continued growth in the amount of publicly available information, as well as an increase in the use of AI and automation in data collection and analysis.
Chris poulter
A greater awareness across customers & the community of the need to understand the operating environment first, as part of defining collection requirements, before jumping into collection efforts.
Dr. manisha ganguly
I am concerned about Twitter become an inhospitable platform for the OSINT community.
Joshua richards
A lot is always happening with crypto too so there may be big changes in the blockchain OSINT space.
Julia bayer
The number of stories that have come to light despite the inability of journalists in places like Ukraine, Iran, China and many others to report freely or on the ground, largely through the use of OSINT.
Lynn dudenhoefer
A breakthrough in terms of Geolocation ability was achieved when Google launched Google Lens. It does not replace the verification and analysis of your findings, but supports a speedy location research.
Matthias Wilson
You'd be surprised how many text-based queries lead to valuable information when going through the image results.
Michael James
Information and Coffee keep the world moving...
Nico Dekens
More people mistaking finding information online (OSINF) and making claims without proper context and analysis.
Rae baker
I think the highlight of 2022 is how analysts banded together to help Ukraine by posting movements and information on social media.
Salaheldinaz
We grow together as a community, make sure to give back to help educate others, and secure the world.
Samuel lolagar
The fact that the importance of OSINT is increasing is a statement that is made again and again.
Steven Harris
Far more state agencies and large organisations are starting to realise the importance of OSINT for their work.
Sylvain hajri
The osint scene will become as professional as the hacking and cybersecurity world 20 years ago.
Tilman
More and more people (who were not into this yet) started to realise how powerful OSINT actually is.
Zewensec
Not only did OSINT assist with accurate news reporting, it also helped the civilians on the ground make well-informed decisions and escape combat zones.
