Live streaming platforms are services that enable the streaming of video or audio in real-time or near real-time. Popular live streaming platforms include Twitch, Facebook Live, and Periscope.
Live streaming platforms, like Twitch, provide a range of publicly available information that can be harnessed during an OSINT investigation to provide important insights into threat actors, criminals, victims, and criminal networks.
Insights can be found in user profiles, as well as in chat rooms, which are a key feature in live streaming, as viewers can interact with one another and the broadcaster.
