In a new interview on Army TV, we spoke with Anatoly Ostapenko, editor-in-chief of the OSINT department of Toronto Television. The conversation covers the basics of open source investigations (OSINT), how this field works in the modern world, and the challenges facing specialists. Anatoly explains how the work of the OSINT department is organized, the role of specialized software, and whether it is ethical to use merged databases in investigations. In addition, we discussed the effectiveness of OSINT groups in Russia, information hygiene rules, popular data collection tools, and skills that can be useful to Ukrainians. Anatoly talks about access to satellite imagery, HUMINT training, and how technology affects communication in the modern world.
