Deep Source Intelligence

DEPSINT™ delivers powerful Deep Source Cyber Intelligence reports to individuals, law firms, corporations and organizations seeking to advance cases against online fake reviews.  With our results, we uncover critical data to identify those behind the fake bad reviews and online defamation.

Uncovering Online Defamation

Today, when facing online defamation, standard OSINT tools may often fail when it comes to unmasking those behind the online fraud. DEPSINT  specializes in revealing those anonymous identities, hidden accounts and concealed network links behind the online defamation.

Fake Reviews & Online Defamation: How to Identify Who Is Behind Them

Connect Anonymous Reviews and Posts to Real Authors

Anonymous fake reviews and defamatory posts can be written by a competitor, a former employee, a disgruntled customer or a serial complainant – and they rely on the platform’s anonymity to do damage without consequence. Reporting a review occasionally removes one post, but the author returns under a new handle, and the campaign continues. Nothing changes until the person behind the accounts is identified.

DEPSINT™ provides deep source cyber intelligence to connect anonymous handles to their true owners, and to expose when a cluster of ‘independent’ negative reviews is in fact one person operating several accounts. That attribution is what a defamation claim, a cease-and-desist, or an action against a competitor or former employee depends on.

What We Do to Identify Anonymous Authors

We analyze the digital footprint behind the accounts posting about your business – registration details, writing patterns, cross-platform identifiers, the connections between ‘separate’ accounts – to connect anonymous handles to real people, even when the author uses aliases and burner emails.

Identifiers Power Attribution

A run of ‘independent’ bad reviews is frequently one operator behind several accounts. We map the connections between accounts to expose coordination and attribute it. Usually two or three identifiers are enough for a free initial analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can DEPSINT™ track a trace the author behind an anonymous post?

Depending on the platform and depending on the identifiers, anonymous authors of posts can be readily identified.  

Attribution is still possible.  Frequently the same person or competitor is behind multiple ‘reviewers’. Proving that link is often the most valuable outcome for a legal claim.

Yes. Our track and trace cyber analysis report documents how each conclusion was reached, to support a defamation claim, platform escalation, or action against a competitor or former employee.

It may be possible. We have attributed cases from a single identifier, though two or three – an account, an email, a phone number, a domain – materially improve the odds. Start with what you have; a 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 or alerted, and your case is not discussed with anyone but you and those you authorise.
