Deep Source Intelligence

DEPSINT™ delivers powerful Deep Source Cyber Intelligence reports to individuals, law firms, corporations and organizations seeking to advance cases against sextortion.  With our results, we help uncover critical data hidden and provide the attribution necessary to advance cases.

Uncovering Sextortion Quickly

Many times, standard OSINT tools often fail when it comes to unmasking sextortion. We specialize in delving deeper into the hidden areas of the web. Our cyber intelligence can reveal anonymous identities, hidden accounts and concealed network links behind the sextortion.

Sextortion: How Online Blackmail Works & How the Person Behind It Gets Identified

Identify Extortionists Through Digital Footprints

Sextortion is online blackmail: a threat to publish intimate images or conversations unless the victim pays or provides more material. It unfolds through social media, dating apps, messaging platforms and email – and it works because the blackmailer believes they are anonymous. What most victims are rarely told is that the majority of sextortion is run by organised groups working from scripts, operating many victims at once, and reusing accounts, phone numbers and payment channels between them.

DEPSINT™ offers advanced, deep source cyber intelligence to identify and locate the person or network behind the threats – with speed, discretion, and precision. Our AI-driven technology and analysts unmask ‘anonymous’ blackmail accounts and provide reliable, court-ready attribution for private individuals, families and legal professionals.

Two rules before anything else: do not pay, and do not delete. Paying marks you as someone who pays – demands escalate. Deleting destroys the identifiers that make identification possible.

What We Do to Identify Blackmailers With Speed & Accuracy

Every account that contacts you leaves digital traces – the profile itself, the email or phone number it registered with, the payment details it demands money through, the way it writes. Even when a blackmailer hides behind burner accounts and VPNs, these fragments correlate. We isolate and connect them across platforms, from the surface web to the deep web, until they resolve to a real identity.

Who Needs Our Deep Source Cyber Intelligence Services

Private individuals under active threat, parents acting for their children, and lawyers building harassment or extortion matters. We serve clients globally and discreetly – nobody in your life needs to know unless you choose to tell them.

Do you have the social media handle, email, phone # and/or payment details of the account threatening you?

Online where data & traces become harder every day, DEPSINT™ turns the invisible into the cyber intelligence you can use. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Advancing Cases Effectively

In terms of identifiers – we will start with what you have — even if it doesn’t feel like much.  Our cyber intelligence systems can enable clients to build and advance their sextortion cases even with minimal initial data.

Identifiers Power Attribution

Blackmailers hide – but they still leave digital fingerprints. A reused username, an email fragment, a phone number that registered three other accounts, a payment handle that appears across victims. We isolate and correlate these identifiers until the anonymous account resolves into a named, locatable person. Usually two identifiers are enough to run a free initial analysis and confirm whether your case is workable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can DEPSINT™ track those responsible for the sextortion on social media?

Yes, in many cases. Sextortion accounts are rarely as anonymous as they appear – operators reuse infrastructure across many victims, and those repetitions are exactly what our deep source analysis detects. If we have two or three identifiers – we can run a free initial scan to confirm if we can find attribution.

Very often, yes. Much sextortion originates from organised groups operating internationally. Identification is still possible – and often reveals the network rather than one individual, which matters for law enforcement and for platform takedowns. Where the operator is overseas, the report gives you and your advisers a factual basis to act through the right channels rather than paying in the dark.

Yes. Our reports and analysis can be prepared to support proceedings such as civil restraint or harassment applications, criminal complaints, and platform escalations. The report documents how each conclusion was reached so it can be relied upon by lawyers and, where relevant, law enforcement.

One important exception: if the person being threatened is under 18, contact law enforcement immediately – this is a crime against a minor – and use NCMEC’s Take It Down service to have the material blocked across major platforms.

It may be possible. We have attributed cases successfully from single identifiers, though two or three – the account, an email address, a phone number, payment details – materially improve the odds. Start with what you have; the free initial analysis will tell you honestly whether it is enough.

No. DEPSINT track and trace services are handled discreetly. The subject of the analysis is not contacted and not alerted, and your case is not discussed with anyone but you.
