This project involves your research and analysis regarding one (1) of three international events of significant notoriety where there are disagreements, or seemingly so, between the POTUS and the U.S. Intelligence Community. You are to produce an OSINT assessment report.

For this project/report you are a senior OSINT analyst in a foreign Open Source Enterprise. You’ve been ordered to produce an OSINT report and to provide a formal assessment on one of the topics above. Carefully follow the format below.

Please review the attached information literacy tools to help with researching and writing this project.

Select ONE (1) that you would like to explore in more detail.

  1. You are the Director of OSINT for country X–congratulations. The General Secretary has asked for a thorough analysis of the Mueller report, specifically Volume 1: https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf . Before he determines the resources necessary to influence the next American election, he wants to understand the key findings and vulnerabilities exhibited during the 2016 election. What were the vulnerabilities of the American campaigns then and what actions has America taken to mitigate those vulnerabilities since? After providing the key findings, describe, explain, and analyze changes to social media manipulation, network hacking, and campaign interactions with adversarial foreign entities/countries. You may focus on one of these three categories (social media, hacking, or interactions) in order to provide deeper analysis if you prefer.
