The investigation by #Haaretz underscored the uniqueness of this case. “This is the first case in the world where a system of this sort is being sold as #technology, as opposed to a service,” journalist Omer Benjakob highlighted. Insanet has secured the green light from Israel's Defense Ministry to market #Sherlock internationally as a #military -grade product, albeit with stringent conditions. The company's roots trace back to 2019, with its founders having significant ties to Israel's defense and #cybersecurity sectors.

Finding #Nicknames With #Sherlock

Identifying and tracing a person’s footprints across the #internet usually involves researching nicknames across a wide variety of different platforms. On the one hand you can use the tool to find a nickname that is still available on all platforms and on the other hand to identify the probably same user across platforms. So if you value your privacy, remember how easy it is to find anything on the Internet with the right tools.
