Stormwater asks an analyst for a callback number’s “current GPS” from OSINT. What should the analyst explain?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
OSINT can read the label on the bottle; it cannot GPS-track the bottle down the street. Public phone work is listings, type, and where the number is already published. Live device location is a different legal world.
Full Explanation
PORP phone OSINT is limited to publicly available attributes: listings, number type, and other open mentions of the digits. Reverse-lookup sites and ordinary calls do not provide live GPS. Carrier location pings and real-time device tracking require legal process and privileged systems, not open-source collection. Explain that boundary clearly so stormwater does not treat a public lookup as a tracker.
