IOC Investigations

🕵️‍♂️ It really feels great to help people during dark times Today we helped @NiwinEth, a proud owner of @cryptopunks #8832! Their wallet was compromised, which saw the theft of the Punk among other assets! 😱 This is how it started ⬇️ Then @lorepunk got in touch on Niwin's behalf and we didn't hesitate! 1️⃣ The first priority is always secure any remaining assets. 2️⃣ Then we set about doing what we do best - Tracing 3️⃣ We also need to try to understand the cause! 4️⃣ Next, we watch and wait. This is where the break came from. The Punk was sold for 40 ETH and that was deposited to @okx 5️⃣ Now it's all about timing and luck. Luckily on this occasion, we caught it in time. 6️⃣ OKX didn't hesitate either - they were successful in freezing the proceeds. 7️⃣ Now its all about law enforcement - They NEED to get involved. @NiwinEth is working hard to achieve this! Here is how it is now! Still work to do but Niwin now has a much higher chance of success. Best of luck @NiwinEth 💙

For those just starting on their crypto investigations journey, here are three tools I would recommend: 1️⃣ @arkham Intelligence - Great free tool! However, there are levels to using it from basic to advanced. There are some neat tricks to learn on this tool to get the best out of it. 2️⃣ SPECTRA - The all-seeing eye... this is a tool belonging to @intell_on_chain and it has multiple modules to help you find the information you're looking for. 3️⃣ Obsidian - Free and locally hosted! This tool is one of the best note-taking apps out there, in my opinion. I've literally used it to map out hundreds of millions of dollars worth of scams Links are below: ⬇️

@0xCommanderKeen Why?

@intell_on_chain Just tell me who is 7siblings

Searching for a crypto wallet address should not feel like opening 10 tabs and playing detective. 🔎 That’s why we built something better. It’s called 'Wallet Mentions' and it's integrated into Spectra - Our OSInt/Blockchain Research tool! Here’s what 'Wallet Mentions' does: ➡️ You paste in any wallet address. ➡️ It finds everything published about it online - across forums, news sites, block explorers, and even the deep corners of crypto Twitter/X. ➡️ Then it uses AI to clean up the noise and highlight what actually matters. ➡️ You still get the raw data. We just make it faster to find. ✅ No more guessing. ✅ No more bouncing between platforms. ✅ You get signal, not spam. We built this because crypto research has a UX problem - too fragmented, too noisy, and way too manual. Now it takes 10 seconds. Want to try it for free for 30 days? Drop a comment and we’ll get you in.
