This may be the largest mass breach of an intelligence service in recent history. 305 individuals registered their car to the same address as Aleksei Morenets, one of the four accused GRU officers. Here's our latest with @the_ins_ru. bellingcat.com/news/2018/10/0… Remember the dating profile () of GRU officer Morenets that a @Bellingcat workshop participant found this morning? @Peterkeizer geolocated (nos.nl/artikel/225338…) the profile pic. Guess what, taken 650m from the GRU barracks: google.com/maps/@55.72826….

Did CNN use the same little girl in three different refugee crisis pictures?

Answer: No, they didn't. This triptych simply captures one girl being passed around from a rescuer, caretaker, or family members in Aleppo, #Syria, in August 2016. (Thread). A simple reverse image search will lead to the original pictures. This is what @Snopes did when they debunked this viral (and vile) image in December 2016. snopes.com/fact-check/cnn…

Geolocation shows that this picture () of a Ferrari with licence plate "UNP" was indeed taken in #Lebanon. That licence plate was or is used by UN personnel in #Israel. Can @UN confirm or deny this car belongs to their staff? I've reached out to @UN_Lebanon to clarify this issue.

This is NOT recent footage of the #SyriaStrikes, but recycled footage from May *2013* from an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Jamraya Research Center in Damascus. This video is being shared countless of times as showing today's #SyriaStrikes in Damascus, but guess what? It's not — the footage shows shelling in the Ukrainian city of Luhansk in February 2015.

For years, Dutch intelligence had access to Russia's Cozy Bear hackers group. Crucial evidence for Russian interference in the U.S. elections was obtained, prompting a FBI investigation. That's what @Nieuwsuur and @volkskrant have found. volkskrant.nl/tech/dutch-age… Cozy Bear's located in a university building near the Red Square. Dutch intel (AIVD) manage to gain access to a security camera. Faces of everyone who enters or exits are analysed for matches with known Russian spies. Info that will prove to be vital, @huibmodderkolk writes.

Currently updating the layout of Bellingcat's digital forensics tools, and adding pros and cons of tools we use. docs.google.com/document/d/1Bf… Always wondered how to download anyone's tweets, followers and likes into a single spreadsheet? There's an easy tool (and Chrome extension) for that: Twlets (@twlets, twlets.com). H/t @henkvaness.

On August 15, 2017, the @IntlCrimCourt issued the first ever arrest warrant entirely based on social media evidence. icc-cpi.int/CourtRecords/C… The charges accuse Al-Werfalli (alleged Al-Saiqa Brigade commander) of mass executions in/near Benghazi, #Libya, during Operation Dignity.
