This latest investment is led by Yellow Rocks!, who has increased its total investments  sixfold since its earliest capital injection. The funds will be primarily used to advance Social Links’ flagship AI initiative: the solution was developed under the AI Defender Autopilot concept, to tackle emerging AI digital risk protection challenges – like detecting fraud and scam messages in employees’ emails and messaging platforms or detecting misinformation and fake news about a brand – with precision and scalability.

Social Link’s transformed a decade of experience in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and digital investigations into AI agents that will fight AI-driven crime and work together as an autopilot system. The product represents the company's innovative front line in modern threats protection, extending beyond classical infrastructure-focused cybersecurity players.

Ivan Shkvarun, CEO of Social Links, explains: “The misuse of AI by the criminal sector created complex risks that outpace the capabilities of existing protection methods. Our responsibility is to provide clarity and actionable insight, turning fragmented and overwhelming data into effective defence. This is essential for securing trust in an AI-driven world. We deeply care about our investors and customers, and it is important for us to develop and grow together.”

The company offers deep, comprehensive data intelligence that empowers organisations to detect and mitigate AI-enabled fraud and crime across social media, messaging services, and digital platforms. Unlike traditional cybersecurity, their approach anticipates emerging attack surfaces shaped by AI’s evolving capabilities.

“AI has given criminals superpowers, while most protection tools are still stuck in the pre-AI era. Social Links is one of the very few companies that can realistically close this gap. They combine more than a decade of OSINT and digital investigations experience with a new generation of AI agents that actually understand how modern fraud, disinformation and abuse work in the real world. Our follow-on investment is a deliberate move to increase our stake in a category leader we know well. We believe Social Links is uniquely positioned to define the global standard for AI-driven digital risk protection in the coming years,” shared Sergei Bogdanov PhD, Yellow Rocks! managing partner.

Social Links has demonstrated an average growth rate of 80% year-over-year for the last six years and plans to accelerate this growth further with the introduction of new products.
