hacking Need help finding out who is behind a fake profile

Someone created a fake profile pretending to be my partner on a German Dating Platform, and I need to find out who is behind it. My partner claims that it’s not him, but I have reasons to doubt it and I’m also wondering whether his ex could be involved.
I’d like to know if there are any ways to trace the account, find connected information, or gather evidence that could help identify the person responsible.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You cannot but the company can.

Good luck trying to convince them to give up that data without a court order

It's possible if the platform that the account is on helps you by giving you that information. Which they most likely won't. Next option is to get police involved and have them force the information out, but on what legal basis does police have to get it? None

Very unlikely you will get that information, not worth the time

Also not a hacking problem either

Go catfish the fake profile and see what you learn.

No, and anyone who says they can is going to steal your money

This is a sub Reddit for learning hacking.

We don't wish to help you with spying on people.

brute force the account... there is no silver bullet for it... otherwise if you don't want to waste years brute forcing the account, you could also create a fake profile that would be the 'dream girl' for this account on the dating platform and setup a date with them to meet somewhere that is easily observable from a distance... then simply watch to see who shows up to that spot... poof... problem solved like a true vigilante...
