OSINT Investigations, Delivered at Machine Scale
E3 Legacy Intel provides open-source intelligence investigations for attorneys, corporations, and investigators: digital footprint, social media, dark web, and identity resolution. Unlike tool vendors, we deliver finished, admissible intelligence, using a proprietary platform with the reach of a thousand analysts and the judgment of licensed investigators (FL A-1400197).
The open-source world holds the answer to almost any investigative question. The problem is scale and judgment: too much data, too little time, and a courtroom that demands more than a screenshot. We solve both.
OSINT tools return data. We return intelligence.
The market is full of OSINT platforms that hand you a firehose of hits and call it intelligence. Raw data is not an answer, and it is not admissible. We combine a proprietary platform with the reach of a thousand analysts and the judgment of licensed investigators to deliver finished, verified, courtroom-ready intelligence, not a spreadsheet you still have to make sense of.

Results
A click fraud campaign draining more than $10,000 a week from a group of travel agencies was routed through hundreds of IP addresses behind international proxies; we traced a single click back to the actual browser behind it, and that browser tied directly to a competitor's system. A theft of millions that appeared to come from Asia was traced to a web presence deliberately disguised to look foreign and actually based in New York City, and the FBI recovered the funds and prosecuted the offender. The operator of an extortion site hidden behind proxy servers and layers of fake names was identified as a man based in Orlando, Florida, and law enforcement took the case.
Read how we named the insider behind a company's sabotage and the competitor behind $10,000 a week in click fraud.
