AITA for digging way deeper into my friend's boyfriend than she asked me to

my friend Dana (31F) has been dating this guy Kyle for like 8 months. two weeks ago she asks me, half joking, to "just google him" because something felt off. i do cybersecurity for a living so she knows i can actually find stuff, not just google. i told her i'd do a basic pass. instead i pulled reverse image search on his profile pics, cross referenced usernames across three platforms, found a dating app profile active from last week and a second instagram under a fake name he uses to DM other women. took me maybe 40 minutes, this is literally my job. i sent her screenshots with timestamps and everything laid out like a report because that's how my brain works. she did not react the way i expected. she's furious, says i went way past "just check him out" and now she feels like i surveilled her boyfriend without consent, calls it creepy even though it's HER boyfriend and i did it FOR her. she's not answering my texts. mutual friends are split, one said i basically catfished my way into his private accounts, another said i just did what she asked and she's shooting the messenger. Dana is still with Kyle as far as i know.
