Food Delivery Leak Unmasks Russian Security Agents. This story is from April 2022 but I realize now I never linked to it.
Yandex Food, a popular food delivery service in Russia, suffered a major data leak.
The data included an order history with names, addresses and phone numbers of people who had placed food orders through that service.
Bellingcat were able to cross-reference this leak with addresses of Russian security service buildings—including those linked to the GRU and FSB.This allowed them to identify the names and phone numbers of people working for those organizations, and then combine that information with further leaked data as part of their other investigations.
If you look closely at the screenshots in this story they may look familiar: Bellingcat were using Datasette internally as a tool for exploring this data! # 26th April 2024, 1:59 am
Spevktator: OSINT analysis tool for VK. This is a really cool project that came out of a recent Bellingcat hackathon. Spevktator takes 67,000 posts from five popular Russian news channels on VK (a popular Russian social media platform) and makes them available in Datasette, along with automated translations to English, post sharing metrics and sentiment analysis scores. This README includes some detailed analysis of the data, plus a link to an Observable notebook that implements custom visualizations against queries run directly against the Datasette instance. # 5th September 2022, 8:48 pm
