The analyst navigates to the events tab on Flare and filters the search to focus exclusively on Telegram chats. They search for the username "PCP.sh" to find any occurrences of communication with that account across Telegram history. The search returns several hits from a user named "Maya the Fox" who instructs someone to "just run this little exe and boom." The analyst identifies that this executable file is associated with the same Steam profile picture they were investigating. Based on this correlation between the Telegram username, the executable file, and the matching Steam profile picture, the analyst concludes with high confidence that they have identified the target individual.
