Identity Attribution (SOCMINT)
You are a Threat Intelligence Researcher at Globomantics. Recently, Globomantics experienced a targeted phishing campaign. The only lead is a threat actor operating under the username CyberPioneer_99. Your task is to perform an offline Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) investigation to attribute this alias to a real-world identity. Using a local archive of social media pages, blogs, and a database of leaked credentials, you will trace the actor’s digital footprint, uncover hidden personal details, and construct a link analysis map to expose their true identity.
