The Open-Source Intelligence Scan (OSINT Scan) significantly simplifies spear-phishing emails.
These are phishing emails that target

a specific individual or
a group of people (e.g., within companies or organizations)

The OSINT Scan

collects publicly accessible online information about the target company and also
gathers additional data from the company's immediate vicinity (radius: 2 km)

This makes spear-phishing emails

highly individualized and
much more credible to the recipient

To start the OSINT Scan, enter the name of the target company and its URL.
