Was macht eigentlich @darcdataresearch.bsky.social? Die Rechercheagentur, die aus unserem Förderprojekt Secure Research Hub hervorgegangen ist, hat für ZDF frontal und @spiegel.de Ende Dezember ein Leak mit E-Mails des Sexualstraftäters Epstein durchsuchbar gemacht. 🔗 Zum Artikel: t1p.de/t5m7f

🚨 New in OpenAleph: Geocoded Addresses Investigators often look for links between names, companies, or IDs, but geography tells its own story, and sometimes it's the missing piece.
