Changes in OSINT with time

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has become a very common term. The information is collected from publicly available sources such as the Internet, radio frequencies, airwaves and newspapers. OSINT includes information or data that is openly available for anyone to access. The term was coined by the intelligence community & is commonly used in the government, military and more increasingly by the commercial marketplace. However, as more people, and even companies, are joining social media networks and depending on social media for communication, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. This shows that Open Source Intelligence has evolved with the time.
