Tactics, Techniques & Procedures (TTPs): Utilization of Real-Time Bidding (RTB) data streams for precise geolocation and behavioral mapping without device compromise.

The 'Webloc' ecosystem represents a shift from 'Invasive Hacking' to 'Architectural Harvesting.' By positioning themselves as consumers of the global advertising data stream, these actors (and the governments that hire them) gain SIGINT-level capabilities by simply purchasing access to the 'digital exhaust' of the modern internet. This method is undetectable by traditional EDR or network security tools because the data is 'voluntarily' broadcast by the device's OS and apps as part of the standard ad-delivery process. The merger of Cobwebs and Penlink indicates a consolidation of this 'Surveillance-as-a-Service' model, making high-end tracking available to local law enforcement agencies globally.
