Workshop video: Investigating affiliate scams and using Claude Code for OSINT

Our first members-only workshop of the year was held on Jan 28. I shared tips for investigating affiliate marketing scams on TikTok (and elsewhere) based on my recent piece, “Anatomy of a TikTok scam: Following the money from viral videos to shady affiliate marketers.” Then Assaf Kipnis, the founder of KTLYST Labs and a former threat intelligence leader at Google, Meta and ElevenLabs, showed how he used Claude Code to investigate the same scheme.

Below is a video of the session as well as links to a transcript, our slides, and a document with AI-generated notes. Our next workshop will be in late February.

If you’re not a member, you can upgrade to join our next workshop. Plus, you get access to the materials for January’s session, as well as to all of the videos and transcripts from previous workshops.
