10 posts held, back to 5 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 10 posts for this entry, the most recent from 1 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
2 reactions across 2 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 50.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 1 | 50.0% | |
| 🔥 | 1 | 50.0% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 2 of the 10 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 2reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 10 most recent posts we hold, published 5 June 2026 to 1 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Meanwhile, in the cyber underground, things are moving along. Hackers hacked the internal network of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), intended for exchanging confidential data with federal, regional, local, and industry partners. The hack occurred between the end of May and the beginning of June and affected the department's information network. The attack targeted the HSIN servers and the connected Share…

📝Global Surveillance📝 on how American electronic intelligence works This week, the U.S. Congress allowed a rare institutional failure: a temporary extension of Section 702 (a section of the law on global electronic surveillance and collection of your data from cloud services and email) failed in a vote, and the provision formally expired. 🔻What is Section 702 and why does it matter? ▪️Section 702 is a section of t…

This was reported by "Caution, News" with reference to a statement by the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Andrey Khrapov, at…

Tomorrow we drop the Shodan cheatsheet. Every filter that matters. Real queries used in professional recon engagements. Grouped by use case — exposed databases, industrial control systems, default credentials, vulnerable services, country and org targeting. Copy-paste ready. Permanently archived at intel.hexdefender.com. Save this post. You will want it when it lands. @tactical_osint

There Is A Search Engine That Indexes Every Exposed Device On The Internet. Most People Have Never Heard Of It. Google indexes websites. Shodan indexes everything else. Webcams. Industrial control systems. Hospital equipment. Power grid interfaces. Unsecured databases. Routers with default credentials. If it has an IP address and is connected to the internet, Shodan has almost certainly seen it — and logged exactly w…

The most powerful intelligence tool alive is totally free, like the wind that moves through the bamboo. In 2014, analysts tracked the missile launcher that shot down MH17 using Facebook posts, road signs, and shadow angles. No classified access. No government sources. Just open data, read by people who knew how to look. As the master said, the blind man sees the path not with eyes but with the cane of patience. Tha…

HOW THIS CHANNEL WORKS — AND WHAT WE INVESTIGATE Most channels post when they feel like it. A burst of content, then silence for two weeks, then another burst. You never know what's coming or when. You check once, see nothing new, and eventually stop checking. That's not how this works. Tactical OSINT runs on a five day weekly cycle, Monday through Friday, every single week. Each day has a purpose and every post is b…

WHAT THIS CHANNEL IS AND ISN'T Before we go any further, you deserve to know exactly what you're subscribing to. This is not a news channel. There are thousands of those. This channel will not repost headlines, aggregate breaking stories, or tell you what to think about current events. This is a learning channel. Every post here exists to make you a sharper, more methodical thinker. Whether you're watching a conflict…

THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY A video appears online. Thousands share it. Hundreds comment on it. Dozens claim to know exactly what happened. Most are wrong. Not because they lack information. Because they lack methodology. In intelligence, confidence is not evidence. Repetition is not verification. Popularity is not truth. The world does not need more opinions. It needs better analysis. Tactical OSINT exists for one…

Showing the 10 most recent of 10 posts we hold for @tactical_osint. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 15 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
