PRODUCT: CYBERCRIME INVESTIGATIONS

UNCOVER THE ACTORS BEHIND CYBERCRIME FASTER

Investigate cybercrime using the world’s largest recaptured criminal identity corpus. SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations combines agentic AI investigation workflows with IDLink identity correlation and AI Insights to move teams from a single indicator to finished intelligence, delivered through an AI-powered SaaS console or a flexible API. SpyCloud Investigations MCP adds an agentic-driven way to work with SpyCloud data.

Investigate cybercrime, starting at the identity level

Cybercrime investigations stall when identity data is fragmented, incomplete, or buried in noise. SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations brings identity to the center of your investigations, connecting breach, malware, and phishing exposures to reveal who’s involved, how they’re connected, and where to act next.

Start with a single selector – like an email address, username, phone number, domain, or IP – and pivot to uncover hidden relationships, alternate personas, and infrastructure tied to cybercrime activity.

With Research Agent, analysts can describe a subject, hypothesis, or batch of mixed assets in natural language and get a fully reasoned investigation plan, sequenced pivots, and finished intelligence in minutes, grounded in verified recaptured records. SpyCloud Investigations MCP extends these capabilities into analysts’ preferred AI environments, enabling natural-language queries and automated pivots.

From first lead to clear answers – in minutes

Stop losing time chasing fragmented OSINT and manual pivots. SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations connects identity data to rapidly uncover and understand threats – without guesswork.

See the connections attackers rely on to stay hidden

Identity-centric investigations surface patterns of life and attribution signals that help analysts understand who’s behind the activity, not just what happened.

Intelligence your whole team can act on

Raw data doesn’t stop threats, decisions do. Research Agent, AI Insights, Infostealer Log Analysis, and IDLink work as a layered system to move every analyst from first indicator to finished intelligence, regardless of skill level.

Research Agent is essentially a natural language chat interface where an investigator can ask a question and basically say, tell me everything you have in the SpyCloud data for this selector. Customers can ask really more simple questions without that expertise, without mastering this domain, and get back much more mature, complete responses that would be what our investigator would get. It's all self contained, so it's not leaking out to the web. And basically, you can leverage that as though it's a partner throughout an investigation. It's not replacing the analyst because you still you still have to ask it questions, and you still have to pull the thread. We figure that the analysts and the investigators know exactly what they're looking for when they're conducting an investigation, but rather than have to hunt and peck through a lot of the data, you leverage the research agent by putting your thought of what you would be hunting for actually in a prompt, and basically they're saying, hey, research agent, go fetch this information for me. You can find signals in thousands, if not tens of thousands of records so much faster than it would take you to do it manually. I've got personal projects that I've worked on recently that last year would have taken me two months that I can accomplish the same thing now in a couple of hours. Scrambled email addresses, it'll tell you this is actually a phone number that's consistent with an area code in Indonesia. And, oh, by the way, here's the telecom provider. Whether they're looking at fraud, a threat actor, insider threats, all that's built into Research Agent. Because of that type of inferential prompting that was trained on, it gives you even that much more information. For example, it might be giving you a comparison of information, of exposure information, maybe give you some charts so you can better understand what you're looking at. It's closing the gap between what criminals are able to do and the amount of time that they have to profit from the data that they're stealing to when investigations teams can can stop it and prevent it from happening. It's leveling the playing field.

SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations FAQs

What is the SpyCloud Investigations module ?

SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations is an AI-powered investigation platform built on the world’s largest recaptured identity corpus. Analysts and investigators at every skill level get direct access to over one trillion identity assets from infostealer malware logs, phishing kits, combolists, and breaches, with a layered set of capabilities designed to take teams from a single indicator to finished intelligence in minutes.

The investigation workflow moves through three layers. IDLink automatically correlates across the full digital identity, surfacing personal accounts, devices, aliases, credentials, and criminal personas without manual pivot steps. Research Agent (Pro) takes a question, a hypothesis, or a batch of mixed assets in natural language, plans the investigation, and runs the pivots across the data the way a senior analyst would, and returns finished intelligence grounded in verified recaptured records, with every finding traceable to a specific source. AI Insights (Pro) then applies decades of SpyCloud investigative tradecraft to detect behavioral patterns, surface attribution signals, and produce executive-ready reports in seconds.

The result: investigations that used to take hours now close in minutes, and every analyst on the team operates at the quality of your most experienced one.

What makes it different from traditional OSINT tools?

The volume and complexity of OSINT data available to analysts and investigators makes it hard to quickly find the right information to remediate identity and supply chain exposures, mitigate insider threats, and complete cybercrime investigations. SpyCloud enriches your investigations with exclusive breach, phishing, and malware-sourced identity data; speeds up your workflows with automated IDLink pivoting; and improves your outcomes with high-confidence results.

How does the Investigations module work?

After searching exact matches on an email, username, or phone number, IDLink automatically runs pivots in the background, looking for connections on everything that makes up a digital identity – from matching emails and backup emails, to shared and exposed PII, usernames, passwords, and over a dozen other asset types. SpyCloud Investigations with IDLink only returns new, highly-relevant results, removing any out-of-scope identity asset that slows down analysis. It also enhances raw data with additional context to give you a broader view of exposed identities and threats.

Do I need technical expertise to use the Investigations module?

No. The intuitive interface and automated workflows are designed for analysts at all levels.

Can I correlate malware data with phishing or breach info?

Yes. SpyCloud cross-references all data sources – from breaches, malware logs, and phishing campaigns – to uncover hidden relationships across identities and assets.

Does SpyCloud Cybercrime Investigations include agentic investigation capabilities?

Yes. Research Agent, available on Pro licenses of Cybercrime Investigations, is SpyCloud’s agentic investigation workflow. It applies the same tradecraft-informed AI that powers the rest of the platform specifically to investigation planning: reasoning about the analyst’s goals, deciding which pivots are worth running, sequencing the investigation the way a senior analyst would, and returning finished intelligence grounded in verified recaptured records. Every finding is explainable and traceable to a specific source artifact. Research Agent runs inside the SpyCloud console. Investigations MCP lets agents in your own AI client call SpyCloud tools directly.
