As fraud becomes increasingly digital, I’ve noticed a surge in phishing schemes leveraging social engineering tactics — gathering evidence from social media platforms and email headers has helped me identify common patterns. It might be useful for fellow investigators to share techniques or tools they’ve found effective in tracing these digital footprints.
I’ve had success using specific geolocation tools to pinpoint where phishing emails originate, which can really help track down the perpetrators… Sometimes, combining that with social media analytics helps uncover the social engineering tactics that led to the attack. It’s definitely worth diving into those analytics if you haven’t yet, especially since those patterns can be very revealing.
