In the aftermath of the tragic mass-stabbing attack in Southport on July 29, 2024, the United Kingdom has grappled with a surge of violent protests. These protests were fueled by misinformation spread online about the suspect’s identity and background by far-right groups and activists. The situation escalated into a broader wave of riots across the country.

Join us on Thursday, August 15th at 10am BST for a live flash briefing. We’ll explore how Fivecast Tradecraft advisers leveraged advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT) capabilities using Fivecast ONYX, a leading OSINT platform to monitor popular far-right slogans circulating on social media. Their goal? To identify and track violent calls to action, ensuring timely insights so investigators can take action and mitigate the risk posed to the community.

This briefing is limited to government and law enforcement email addresses only.
