Fraud Intelligence
How open-source, financial and technical information may be connected and assessed.
Published 24 September 2026 · Prepared by Fraud Response Network

Fraud investigations can involve many kinds of information: websites, companies, payment details, public blockchain activity, communications and reported identities. Considered together, these sources may help form questions that would not be obvious from any one record.
Connecting information carefully
A domain registration, shared wallet or common company name can be a lead for further assessment. It does not by itself prove that two people or organisations acted together. Analysts should record where information came from, when it was collected, what it can support and what remains uncertain.
A scoped process
A useful review begins with defined questions and available material. Publicly accessible information may be checked against reliable records; transaction information may be mapped where appropriate; and findings can be organised for reporting or professional review. Access restrictions, jurisdiction, data quality and attribution limits all affect what can be concluded.
FRN does not offer a public intelligence database or promise that tracing will identify a person, locate assets or lead to recovery. The page describes an investigative capability, not an automated platform.
