This paper introduces the concept of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and How OSINT can prevent Frauds .The
Estimated Data Consumption from 2021 to 2024 by finances online could increase from 74 zettabytes to 149 zettabytes [1] and
most of this data is Publicly available. OSINT is an intelligence that is Produced by collecting, processing, analysing and
correlating the information available publicly. Crimes such as fraud, illicit trade, and security are developing in the digital era of
the twenty-first century, and new methods and procedures are emerging that can make them tougher to detect and investigate.
OSINT investigations gather insights from open source data (OSD), revealing information on possible business partners, clients,
suppliers, and workers. With the assistance of next-generation OSINT tools, corporate investigations teams and anti-fraud
specialists can make the rapid and correct choices necessary to avoid reputational and financial harm.[20]
