Disruption intelligence delivered by Xploratio

Full-spectrum investigations, offshore investigations, test purchases, ASN intelligence, IP netblock/ASN takedowns, IX/LIR engagement and covert operations — executed by our in-house investigators in conjunction with a partner network across local jurisdictions.

Verified & enriched data

Data that has been checked and enriched, not just scraped.

Every profile in Xploratio’s intelligence warehouse carries a compliance status — from ASN blocklists and sanctions flags to Chainalysis signals and legal-action history. You start from verified ground truth, not from noise.

  • Cross-referenced against sanctions and enforcement databases.
  • ASN reputation and blocking signals tracked per subject.
  • Chainalysis and legal-action flags surfaced on every profile.
  • Continuously updated — profiles reflect current compliance state.
  • Real-world profiles from live investigations — not data noise. Validated and enriched data built on verified evidence and operational context.

Disruption intelligence platform

The investigation platform built for how investigators, CTI analysts and law enforcement work.

From a live caseload view to connection graphs and multi-layered actions — every surface is designed around the daily workflow.

01 · CASE MANAGEMENT

Your entire caseload, at a glance.

Active cases, subjects under investigation, task deadlines, overdue work and budget breakdown — surfaced on a single dashboard so nothing slips.

  • Live KPI tiles for cases, subjects, open and pending tasks.
  • Task deadline feed with per-case and per-investigator context.
  • Compliance and enforcement coverage across the full data warehouse.

02 · CONNECTIONS & CHOKEPOINTS

Map. Target. Disrupt.

Every subject is automatically linked to others through shared infrastructure, identifiers and cross-case signals. Spot the common actor (“chokepoint”) behind multiple identities, entities and accounts — in seconds, not weeks of manual cross-referencing.

  • Primary, secondary and suggested connections graphed visually.
  • Cross-case links make serial actors impossible to miss.
  • Filter by connection type, field or case to narrow down the investigation.
  • Dedicated connections area compares your case data against Xploratio’s intelligence warehouse — surfacing matches you didn’t know existed.

03 · TASKS

One queue. Your team and ours.

Full-spectrum investigations, offshore investigations, test purchases, ASN intelligence, IP netblock/ASN takedowns, IX/LIR engagement and covert operations — all tracked as tasks. Some are handled by your team; others carry an XBIP badge and are delivered directly by the Xploratio investigator network.

  • Typed tasks — FSI, Test Purchase, ASN Scan & Map, ASN blocklist, Offshore investigations …
  • Mix internal investigators with Xploratio’s team on the same case.
  • Deadlines, assignments and evidence captured per task.

Disruption intelligence services

A platform is only half the job. We do the other half.

Xploratio’s own investigator network operates inside the platform alongside your team. We run the investigations and execute the disruption — every action logged, every artefact retained.

Full-spectrum investigations XBIP

End-to-end subject investigation with identity, infrastructure, financial data, compliance and corporate analysis delivered as a finished case file.

Learn more →

Test purchases XBIP

Evidence-grade test purchases performed in crypto or fiat by trained investigators across the relevant channels and jurisdictions.

Learn more →

ASN intelligence XBIP

Comprehensive scanning and mapping of network activity across a target ASN or multi-ASN infrastructure — covering malware, botnets, ransomware, illicit pharma, counterfeit operations and piracy. All intelligence is verified and validated, enabling stakeholders to prioritise disruption, legal or enforcement actions.

How it works

Turn verified & enriched data into disruption intelligence.

Search verified & enriched data

Query the verified data by email, company, website, phone, Telegram handle or ASN.

Add to case

Convert matched profiles into case-linked entities, maintaining traceability, source attribution and operational context.

Investigate & disrupt

Assign tasks to your investigators or to Xploratio’s team — link investigation to disruptive or enforcement actions.

Focus areas

Where Xploratio is deployed: brand protection, content protection, trust & safety and sanctions evasion.

⚑

Content protection

Leverage ASN infrastructure intelligence to map cross-ASN activity and link infrastructure to enforcement or legal action.

⚒

Brand protection

Identify, investigate and track repeat infringers operating via bulletproof hosting, enabling targeted disruption against counterfeit ecosystems.

Cybercrime Disrupting a bulletproof host in a sanctioned jurisdiction Offshore investigation plus ASN mapping dismantled a major bulletproof host that had resisted years of industry pressure.
The problem

One of the largest bulletproof hosting providers operating within a sanctioned jurisdiction was enabling large-scale cybercrime. Despite repeated industry actions — including Spamhaus ASN-level blocking, independent cybersecurity takedowns and upstream provider pressure — the network continued to operate without meaningful disruption.

The approach

The Xploratio team performed offshore investigations combined with crypto test purchases to identify, attribute and blacklist the provider’s wallet infrastructure. ASN scanning and full network mapping revealed the operator’s identity, corporate shell structures, hosting footprint and wider infrastructure connections.

What our team did

Xploratio engaged upstream providers, internet exchange points (IXs), LIRs and payment processors with a comprehensive intelligence package covering IP ranges across all associated ASNs. This triggered internal investigations and coordinated enforcement actions across infrastructure and financial layers, including wallet-level interventions.

The outcome

The disruption significantly reduced network activity, degraded observable indicators of compromise (IOCs), increased operational costs for the actor and constrained incoming payment flows.

Anti-piracy Supporting a legal civil case Infrastructure-level evidence held up in court — 200+ streaming domains, 50 proxies and 30 malware sites tied to one network.
The problem

A rights-holder in sports broadcasting had spent two years chasing pirate streaming sites one domain at a time. Each takedown was replaced within days. The rights-holder asked Xploratio to look at the problem from the infrastructure side rather than the content side.

The approach

Our team mapped the operator’s full hosting footprint inside the platform — ASNs, upstream providers, payment processors and social media accounts. ASN intelligence linked over 200 illegal streaming domains, 50 proxy services, 30 malware distribution sites, 5 fraud shops and 2 command-and-control servers operating within the same infrastructure cluster.

What our team did

Xploratio’s investigators prepared structured ASN-level evidence packages for legal proceedings and conducted a full-spectrum investigation into the network operator. This revealed additional connected companies and ASNs, which were further mapped, analysed and incorporated into the case file. All investigative actions were maintained under a single case framework with full chain-of-custody tracking.

The outcome

The compiled evidence package was accepted in court, supporting legal action against the operator responsible for facilitating piracy and broader cybercriminal activity.

Content protection Dismantling an entire bulletproof network Fiat test purchases and ASN scanning produced a criminal intelligence package — authorities took down the whole ASN.
The problem

A bulletproof hosting provider operating in Ukraine had been active for years. Multiple high-risk piracy networks were hosting dedicated servers on this infrastructure. Despite repeated takedown requests and escalations by the rights holder’s internal teams and external third-party providers, the provider remained unresponsive for years.

The approach

Xploratio conducted full-spectrum investigations combining fiat test purchases to identify the provider’s account with ASN scanning and infrastructure mapping. This enabled us to uncover large-scale illicit activity across the network, including ransomware operations, fraud shops and piracy infrastructure.

What our team did

Xploratio compiled a structured criminal intelligence case and submitted it to local law enforcement. Following their independent investigation, authorities identified the infrastructure and took down the entire ASN network.

The outcome

The disruption led to the sustained offline status of multiple high-risk piracy networks, with no successful re-emergence observed to date.
