This presentation examined the use of open source information to investigate and understand the world around us. It focused on the investigation into the complicity of Frontex, the European border force, in illegal pushbacks of refugees and migrants in the Aegean Sea. Nick Waters is
a senior investigator for Bellingcat and a former military officer, with
experience in cyber threat intelligence and an MA in conflict, security and
development from King’s College London. His work has focused on the application
of open source techniques to the investigation of conflict, ranging from the use
of drones by sub-state actors to chemical weapons in Syria.
