Evolution of OSINT - Open Sources Intelligence

Since the 1930s, at the University of Princeton, the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) collected information serving as an intelligence source in World War II and the Cold War.

OSINT terminology was introduced by Americans in the mid-1970s and in Europe in the 1980s given the importance of criminal analysts in combating crime, including organized crime.

In 2005, after the failure of September 11, the CIA opened an Open-Source Center (OSC). However, it was discredited, because it was believed that non-confidential information was not valuable.
