Using Web Intelligence for Criminal Investigations

By using advanced investigation tools and easy-to-use artificial intelligence web intelligence platforms like Cobwebs Technologies’ Tangles, which can scour all levels of the internet and the various social media platforms, authorities are able to obtain precise and unrivaled web intelligence in the open and dark web in a fraction of the time it used to take.

While some of the posts on social media platforms might seem benign to the human eye, online investigation tools and media intelligence platforms like Tangles can provide valuable intelligence in identifying suspects and concrete threats.

Using the latest media intelligence platforms with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, Cobwebs Technologies’ Tangles platform can also search for information about possible crimes before they happen by monitoring for keywords in different languages, locations, or events and generating alerts to notify authorities of potential threats.

With capabilities like Natural Language Processing (NLP), Tangles is also able to understand the meaning behind a suspect’s posts and perform sentiment analysis to map out the suspects feelings towards topics.

Advanced web intelligence tools can also detect social changes in a suspect’s life.

Besides DHS, Tangles is used by at least one police department. Cobwebs' sales manager (as of 2019), Johnmichael O'Hare, claimed he became "very familiar" with Tangles while working for the Hartford Police Department.

Johnmichael O'Hare became very familiar with Cobwebs Technologies as a lieutenant with the Hartford (CT) Police Department. Now retired, he works for the company itself as sales manager. "This works across all law enforcement investigations," says O'Hare. "For child trafficking investigations, for example, this can be used to identify people at risk and find the phone numbers and other identifiers in websites that replaced Back-Page. The solution will glean the relevant info quickly to identify people's groups and cliques. You can see who is working in concert with each other on criminal enterprises." He says what used to take him three weeks to find now takes 10 minutes, and the system presents the information in graphs and other images so it's easy to visualize the links.

While Cobwebs Technologies' Tangles tool can also search for information about possible crimes before they happen. "We're setting up notifications," O'Hare explains. "If you want to know if somebody is talking about a certain event, you can upload a dictionary of keywords, even the location around a certain event, so you can be notified when a threat is made."

"It's simple and made to be used by anyone," says O'Hare. "After one hour of training, you're off and running." Cobwebs provides training in person or remotely.

And according to his LinkedIn profile he still lists his current position as "Sales and Business Development" with Cobwebs.
