The analyst finds a LinkedIn profile with the target's name and city, a Twitter account with the handle @JSmith2020, and a blog post from 2018 that mentions the same city. The analyst wants to confirm that all three belong to the same individual before proceeding. Which approach best confirms the identity linkage?
