OSINT-driven investigation exposing two fraudulent cybersecurity internship operations — Redynox and Arch Technologies — targeting Nigerian tech professionals.
In March 2026, I investigated two companies — Redynox and Arch Technologies — after they offered suspicious cybersecurity internship positions targeting Nigerian tech professionals. Both operations displayed classic scam internship TTPs and were independently confirmed as fraudulent through OSINT analysis.
Upfront payment demands disguised as software purchases, registration fees, or equipment deposits after false onboarding.
Onboarding materials contained links to suspicious downloads and fake "company software" installations.
Official communications from @gmail.com addresses — no legitimate company domain email infrastructure.
Website domains recently registered, no SSL certificates, WHOIS privacy-protected, zero verifiable business presence.
All formal onboarding conducted exclusively via WhatsApp — no official HR portal, no verifiable corporate infrastructure.
Neither company could be verified in CAC (Nigeria) or any official business registry. Social media presence fabricated.
Published full investigation reports exposing both operations. Created LinkedIn awareness content warning Nigerian tech professionals. This investigation directly preceded and informed the methodology used in the more comprehensive MutaCryptor TI Report (April 2026).
