Microsoft detects first attempts by Russian hackers to influence US elections
Kyiv • UNN
Over the past 45 days, Russian cyber groups have stepped up efforts to spread disinformation and controversial content aimed at influencing the upcoming US presidential election, Microsoft reports.
Microsoft has said that Russian cyber groups have become more active over the past 45 days in an attempt to influence the upcoming US presidential election. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that Russian-linked accounts spread controversial content aimed at the American audience, including criticizing Ukraine's support for the war with Russia. Although the Russian activity recorded by Microsoft is not as intense as during the previous US presidential election, it may increase in the coming months, experts say.
Messages about Ukraine - through traditional media and social media - have gained momentum over the past two months through a combination of covert and overt campaigns from at least 70 Russian-linked groups we monitor,
The corporation noted that the most active of the Russian information campaigns identified is associated with the administration of Russian President Putin. Another campaign is aimed at publishing disinformation online in different languages, with messages usually starting with the fact that it is allegedly spread by a "whistleblower" or "journalist." The fake content is then distributed by a number of websites, including DC Weekly, Miami Chronical, and The Intel Drop.
Ultimately, after the narrative had been circulating online for several days or weeks, the American audience repeated and reposted this disinformation, likely unaware of its original source,
Recall
Last October, the United States released its intelligence data sent to more than 100 countries, which showed that Russia is using spies, social media, and its state media to undermine public confidence in the integrity of democratic elections around the world.
