When 70% of Nigerians pay out-of-pocket for healthcare, what happens to those who can’t afford it? This isn’t just a health issue, it’s a national security one. In this thought-provoking discussion, our CEO, Dr. Ikpeme Neto and Anita Nwajei explore how lack of access to basic healthcare leads people into desperate decisions. And how we must urgently rethink the systems we build.

Just listened to an incredible episode of Siren Investigates podcast 🎧 The story of Wellahealth and its founders is nothing short of inspiring. They’re tackling one of the most critical challenges in healthcare today, making life-saving medications accessible to communities in Nigeria and the Congo. 💊❤️ John Randles 👏 Listen below 👇

Our mid-year crypto crime analysis reveals alarming trends that position 2025 as potentially one of the most devastating years for digital asset theft on record. With over $2.17 billion already stolen from crypto services in the first half of 2025, we're approaching the total losses seen in all of 2024. The majority of this damage stems from the DPRK’s $1.5 billion hack of ByBit — the largest single cryptocurrency theft in history. The threat landscape is evolving beyond traditional service compromises. Personal wallet attacks are surging, including a concerning rise in physical "wrench attacks" against crypto holders that correlate with bitcoin price movements. Geographically, while the U.S., Germany, Russia, Canada and Japan top the list of highest victim counts per country, Eastern Europe, MENA and CSAO saw the most rapid H1 2024 to H1 2025 growth in victim totals.  Attackers targeting services demonstrate higher operational complexity, while personal wallet attackers increasingly hold stolen funds on-chain rather than immediately laundering them — creating larger pools of potentially seizable assets. If current trends continue, total stolen funds could exceed $4 billion by year's end. Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/ewWymrey

Can you decode these emojis? The term ‘red pill’ has made its way into the mainstream since the popular Netflix TV show ‘Adolescence’ premiered earlier this year. The show highlights social media's role in radicalising young men and framing violence. This World Emoji Day, as OSINT is often the focus of investigations, we show the specific emojis that point to hateful messaging, cyber-luring children and distributing extremist propaganda online. Emojis are not just a decoration, they can be used as digital breadcrumbs for investigators. During our research, we discovered ‘the periodic table of sinister emojis’ created by Amit Singh Kalley from For Working Parents (attached below). With this new information, investigators can indicate these online communities and stop them in their tracks. 'Adolescence' demonstrates why training in emoji literacy should be standard in modern OSINT investigations.

Following our recent announcement about adopting GQL, we're sharing what drove that decision and what it means for data investigations. We've spent the last decade building systems that help analysts navigate complexity, whether they're in law enforcement, finance or cybersecurity. But until now, there was a gap between how investigators think and how they had to express queries to our systems. The core issue was cognitive friction. Our platform had powerful graph capabilities, but accessing them through JSON required translating natural thinking patterns into technical hierarchies. GQL changes this. Instead of converting graph concepts into nested structures, you express graph patterns directly. It aligns how you interact with the system with how you think about investigations. For developers, this means clearer, more maintainable code. For analysts, it means expressing complex questions without translation layers. And for the future, it provides the foundation for integrating AI in ways that remain transparent and auditable. Our implementation goes beyond standard GQL by maintaining integration with search, spatial, and vector operations. One query can traverse relationships while filtering by document content and geographic boundaries, reflecting how real investigations unfold. More thoughts on why we made this move, and what comes next, in the blog below. https://lnkd.in/e3fc_jRF #GraphTechnology #KnowledgeGraphs #GQL #SirenPoweringInvestigations #AI #SirenFederate

Key takeaways: • John discusses how data sharing is the biggest issue in law enforcement, national security and compliance since 9/11 • Instead of 16 tools and 18-month onboarding, John discusses how Siren streamlines workflows for analysts • John discusses that every dataset, whether it is digital forensics, phone messages or emails carries signals. By looking at it as just a crypto problem would mean missing out on key signals coming from other data sources • John explains how you must know the mission of who you're sharing intelligence with and build up that personal relationship to aid collaboration • John explains that auditability means being able to “replay what you did” when running an investigation, which is almost like thinking Special thanks to🔌Stephen Sargeant at Airdropd for creating this video.
