They showcase sensitive information and stolen goods, including: stolen identities, compromised bank accounts, checks, and stolen credit cards; gift cards and receipts; fake, unlicensed merchandise; ATM skimmers and shimmers, guns and drugs, exploit code, RDP access, brand impersonation, physical security threats, and much more.
Now, video use amongst threat actors is on the rise, as media-rich, mobile-first communication is becoming a primary mode of communication in illicit communities. Gaining visibility into this threat landscape is essential intelligence to CTI, Fraud, Brand Protection, and Physical Security teams, among other practitioners whose job it is to protect against exposure to fraud, corporate brand abuse, and acts of violence:
Even better is having a way to search this media across text, images, and video in order to identify potential threats. Flashpoint offers all three—and our new video search analysis is a unique offering on the market.

Video search analysis equips security teams with the additional tools and intelligence they need in their missions of preventing fraud and protecting their organization.
Search for a bank or institution name to discover videos with that particular logo or text in them.

Video search analysis can be used to uncover instances of threat actors engaging in using ATMs to extract cash, duplicating false checks, credit card fraud, and POS skimmers.
Additionally, Flashpoint financial services customers have found countless instances of potentially fraudulent accounts, checks, and cards using image OCR—and our new video search analysis functionality will only enhance and increase the ability to prevent financial fraud. One Flashpoint financial services customer detected more than $4M in illicitly marketed assets, including checks and compromised accounts, using our OCR capabilities.
Enhance executive protection by monitoring for specific personally identifiable information (PII) related to employees, executives, and organizations. With this, physical security teams can work to prevent acts of violence and crimes or threats at points of interest, events, or physical locations.
Monitor for an organization’s brand in videos shared by illicit actors, including the ability to identify insider threats via videos of compromised web servers, compromised customer accounts, and stolen merchandise.

Flashpoint Video Search assists in preventing financial fraud by allowing banks and institutions to scan for their brand names and assets in videos shared on the dark web. Fraud teams can use Flashpoint to find threat actors showcasing “proof” of their exploits, such as videos of cash being extracted from compromised ATMs or close-ups of stolen checks and credit cards, enabling the bank to cancel those assets immediately.
Flashpoint Video Search is unique for brand and physical protection because it provides visibility into a fast-growing medium that traditional text-based search tools miss. Physical security teams can use Flashpoint to detect threats against executives or facilities by monitoring for specific faces or locations in videos.
