Summary

Strong anonymity practices are the OSINT investigator’s first line of defense. Routinely search your name online to inventory digital footprints and close any leaks of personal details. Adopt tools such as Tor, virtual phone numbers, and anonymous emails to insulate your real identity. Compartmentalize identifiable information and maintain separate devices and accounts for OSINT activities. Make continuing education on privacy a priority—new identifying threats are always arising.

Ethical OSINT investigators can keep their personal security intact and research safely with vigilance across these areas. The threats are always evolving, so continued effort is required to stay ahead of the game. Up next, we’ll look at the methods and techniques that one can use during an OSINT investigation.
