ChatGPT (OpenAI) has launched a free tool that checks if an image or audio file was made with ChatGPT.
It reads the SynthID watermark embedded in the pixels, which survives cropping, filters and compression.
Tested on the viral "Hormuz fishermen with iPhones" image: no C2PA, but SynthID detected. Made with ChatGPT.
Free, no login required.

OSINT Tip: a phone number returned a facebook account in leaked data, how can you verify it?
A common OSINT question: is the account genuinely tied to the number you're investigating, or is it outdated or false data?
Solution; don't treat a single source as your final answer. Verify it with multiple sources.
Case example: In the example shown, the phone number was linked to a facebook account that is now unavailable (deleted by the user or the platform). The leaked data showed the full name, email and other details. I checked the number's names/tags on Truecaller and Eyecon and both returned the same name as the facebook profile. This is an additional data point supporting the link between the number and the account.
Similarly, investigate the email address and compare it with the initial output to further strengthen or challenge the finding.

How to identify propaganda/misleading content on social media
Claim: 13 Sept 2026 “An Iranian thermal-guided missile strikes an American Black Hawk!”
Fact-check: The footage is not recent. It dates back to 11 Feb 2020 and shows a Syrian helicopter being shot down over Al-Nayrab, Idlib.
You don’t have to be an OSINT expert to catch this. Extract a few frames from the video and run them through Google Lens/reverse image search.

A different angle of investigation
The original video is 1:20 minutes long, while the version being circulated was cropped to 0:57 seconds.
Interestingly, the final part of the original video contains more distinctive frames that produce much stronger results through reverse image search, as shown.
This is why every frame matters when verifying recycled footage. Look closely at the entire video for small but distinctive details and test multiple frames through reverse image search.

Telegram removed Huione Guarantee, a Chinese language marketplace linked to cryptocurrency scams and money laundering.
Searching for Huione Guarantee using its Chinese name, 汇旺担保, recovered archived pages dating back to 2022, exposing associated channels, usernames, bots, groups, advertisements and payment details.
The same approach can help investigate other fraud and cybercrime cases involving deleted Telegram content.
