# Research

<https://openmeasures.io/research>

Our independent research hosted on our blog is one of the ways we show what is possible with our tools. It is also a resource to the OSINT community in the form of free, high-quality research on a range of topics.&#x20;

Some examples of our work:

* A deep dive into the explosive growth of Bluesky and the rise of [inauthentic accounts pushing crypto](https://openmeasures.io/fake-crypto-accounts/) scams that have grown alongside the platform.
* Identification of hundreds of [war criminals from the Russian invasion](https://openmeasures.io/war-crimes-in-bucha-and-criminals-on-vkontakte/) of Ukraine using open methods.
* Alongside our partners at Code for Africa, we identified and investigated [Pro-Russian Telegram channels that were stoking anti-UN discourse in the Sahel region](https://openmeasures.io/pro-russian-telegram-anti-un/).
* Investigation of [romance scams run by notorious Yahoo Boys](https://openmeasures.io/yahoo-boys-scams/) communities that have spread between mainstream and alt-tech social networks.
