Illicit actors don’t organize their operations on the blockchain. Instead, they use the Deep and Dark Web–including chat services like Telegram and Discord–as their base for promoting, planning, and organizing operations. This is where Cloudburst steps in as a key player to aid in foreseeing, investigating, and safeguarding against unfavorable and dangerous incidents.
Cloudburst and their exclusive partner Knightsbridge, offer tools with the ability to track and identify threat actors without relying on anonymous wallet addresses, which are typically used in crypto transactions. We parse information hidden in images and automatically translate messages for any customer language.

The Cloudburst/Knightsbridge toolset allows for a beyond-the-horizon view of illicit activities, enabling analysts to delve beneath the surface and pinpoint individuals or groups behind these actions. This approach helps identify the culprits and also assists in the proactive anticipation of possible future events.
