globalthreatmap

What it does

An OSINT-style situational awareness board that collects openly available security and geopolitical reports and places them geographically, so the question becomes what is happening where rather than what is in my feed. Self-hosted. The subject matter raises the stakes on accuracy: unverified reports look like established facts once they are pins on a map, and your choice of sources shapes the picture you get. Verify against primary reporting.
