OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) is the process of collecting, analyzing, and evaluating publicly available information to identify security risks and protect digital reputation.
OSINT uses public sources (social media, public registries, search engines, forums, data leaks) to build a detailed profile of a target. In the context of cybersecurity in Romania, OSINT identifies what sensitive information about your company is publicly available and can be exploited by attackers.
The MICAN.ro team uses specialized tools (Maltego, theHarvester, Shodan, Google Dorking) and manual techniques to collect information about employees, IT infrastructure, suppliers, partners, and publicly exposed internal processes. We analyze LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, pastebins, credential leaks, and other sources to identify vulnerabilities.
Attackers always start with OSINT. Before any targeted attack in Romania, hackers collect information about the target: employees, technologies used, organizational structure, email addresses, compromised passwords. A preventive OSINT audit identifies what information can be used against you and how to protect it.
Companies in Romania wanting to understand what information about them is publicly available, organizations targeted by attacks, companies with employees active on social media, firms that have suffered data leaks, or those wanting a complete Red Team Assessment.
