95% of the X accounts identified in Golden Owl®’s research as posing as Israelis while operating under foreign influence are no longer active on the platform, as confirmed by our latest re-check. Days before Israel’s election, Shin Bet (Israel’s domestic security agency) had also confirmed that numerous profiles accused of attempting to influence the election had been removed.

New Golden Owl® research maps the expansion of "Blocus" beyond Barcelona. → mobilisation spreading to multiple Spanish cities → anonymous TikTok accounts feeding users into Telegram and WhatsApp groups → minors and very young participants forming a significant part of the mobilisation base → explicit instructions on concealment, meeting points and disruptive actions → new calls for coordinated activity on 31 October The key intelligence question is no longer what happened in Barcelona, but how quickly the same mobilisation architecture can be replicated elsewhere. Full research:

Why demoralization instead of straightforward propaganda? What happens when foreign influence no longer looks foreign, but speaks through local identities, real grievances and familiar political divisions? And how far does this model extend beyond Iran? These are some of the most relevant questions Emily Schrader raises with @talhagin in this conversation on @JNS_org. The discussion goes beyond one network: manufactured distrust, false-flag narratives, fake domestic personas, mercenary operators and the use of existing social divisions as a Trojan horse to erode societies from within. Worth watching.

A new report from @GoldenOwl_AI shows how the Islamic Republic is actively engaging in election interference in Israel, with the goal of demoralising the public. I spoke with @talhagin about the new reports findings on @JNS_org:

Foreign interference is evolving faster than societies can adapt. Golden Owl® exposes a network of 694 accounts targeting Israeli society, including 445 attributed to an Iranian-linked FIMI operation. 4.7M+ views in just two months. Full research & dataset:

The war has another front: Israel’s election debate. Golden Owl® examined 489,281 data points and identified an Islamic Republic–linked network using Israeli identities to manipulate political discussion. Its posts drew 947,322 impressions in 30 days. Full report:

Golden Owl® won the SMM Start-up Award with Strix™ Maritime Intelligence as maritime security emerged as one of @SMMfair 2026’s defining priorities. That shift was visible across the event: resilience, critical infrastructure protection and operational readiness moved to the centre of the maritime agenda, alongside growing demand for operational AI and autonomous systems. Strix™ brings autonomous maritime surveillance and early warning to that environment. 🔗

Who won the information war over Ceuta? Our new research, Ceuta 2026: Anatomy of an Information War Beyond the Border, analyses 13,059 validated records across 21 information environments and 12 languages. Narratives, strategic advantage and early-warning signals.

Golden Owl® will exhibit at @SMMfair Hamburg 2026 and present the world premiere of Strix™ Maritime Intelligence — an autonomous maritime surveillance capability for situational awareness, early warning, competitive intelligence, operational optimisation and growth. 📍 Hall A3 — Stand A3.204 📅 1–4 September 2026 🌍 World Premiere: Strix™ Maritime Intelligence 🎤 2 September, 14:00 — Pitch & Panel “Maritime Services & Operations”, Digital Stage, Hall B6 From routes, ports and logistics to competition, market dynamics, geopolitical exposure, hybrid threats and critical infrastructure, Strix™ continuously detects relevant change and turns it into actionable intelligence. Meet Golden Owl® in Hamburg.

This is Noctua™ by Golden Owl. From OSINT to corporate data. From the dark web to ontology-driven link analysis. From intelligence reporting to advanced Trace monitoring. Investigation, analysis and monitoring in one intelligence workspace. Turning noise into clarity.

Ceuta update: a large-scale land assault on 15 August, in the Fnideq model, now looks unlikely to materialise through Facebook. Maritime attempts involving small boats along the Algeria–Tunisia axis are still being actively brokered today. The two dynamics have decoupled. The 15 August date has effectively disappeared from Facebook, driven by Meta enforcement around the Fnideq label, the collapse of the recruiter cohort, and Moroccan arrests in Tangier. What remains is no longer a mobilisation network. It is a market.

The critical signal is not a viral post, but the moment scattered activity becomes operational capacity. Ceuta showed how recruitment, coordination and operational security can converge before the physical event becomes visible.

🔴 El asalto multitudinario a Ceuta fue “una operación organizada y no un movimiento espontáneo”

In Ceuta, network activity is shifting, not dismantled. Risk does not disappear when signals become less visible.

Our latest OSINT investigation reconstructs the operational network behind the July 2026 Ceuta border crisis: at least 25 Facebook assets reaching an audience of more than one million, quota-based recruitment, coded language, WhatsApp coordination and viral amplification. Not a spontaneous surge, but a distributed and resilient system built to survive takedowns.

Detecting foreign malign influence is no longer just about monitoring content, it's about understanding narratives, coordination, and multilingual information ecosystems. Our latest research on Russian influence operations has been featured by @Infodefensa. Evidence-based intelligence is essential for understanding today's information environment.

La influencia rusa sobre España y el resto del Sur Global da el salto a la inteligencia artificial, según un estudio de la española Golden Owl

Otus™ has published its first complete service catalogue: 116 intelligence services across 10 operational domains. Capabilities range from financial crime, sanctions, and corporate intelligence to geospatial analysis, synthetic media forensics, cyber investigations, and strategic rapid-response support. Built to connect organizations with vetted expertise wherever complexity, trust, and human judgment remain essential.

Less investment. Better returns. Our latest research on Russia's influence architecture in the war against Ukraine shows a clear pattern: the greatest narrative penetration occurs not in highly monitored English or EU ecosystems, but across Spanish, Arabic, and African information spaces. Shared languages. Hundreds of millions of people. Lower verification capacity. Higher strategic leverage. The future of influence is optimization, not saturation. Read the full research:
