How to Configure Profile Tracker

The Profile Tracker feature in DigitalStakeout XTI enables real-time monitoring of individual social media profiles across supported platforms. It’s designed to help security, fraud, and brand protection teams track targeted personas, influencers, or threat actors without manual checking.

Use Cases

• 🕵️ Threat Actor Tracking — Monitor known personas across platforms for new statements or campaigns
• 🧠 Influencer Surveillance — Track niche influencers in high-risk verticals (e.g., healthcare, elections, protests)
• 🛡️ Executive Protection — Watch for spoofed or compromised activity on executive-linked accounts
• 🚨 Event Escalation — Stay ahead of fast-developing situations by tracking multiple accounts simultaneously

Benefits

How to Set Up a Tracker

1. Go to XTI → Setup → Profile Tracking

2. Name Your Tracker
   Choose a clear, descriptive name that reflects the subject, case, or focus of tracking.

3. Apply Tags
   Use project, campaign, or case-related tags like vip-protect, case-8827, or intel-group-A.

4. Add Screen Names
   Supported platforms include:
