Troed Sångberg<p>I think there's a general need for education regarding influence operations (and my focus is on those by Russia) here on the fediverse.</p><p>1) No, Russia isn't just pushing right-wing agendas/topics. The _stated_ purpose, from 1997 IIRC, is to sow division in the west. That means that there's roughly an equal chance that a raging leftwing lunatic is on Russia's payroll as your average Tate-Musk-Trump-Orban-Fico fanatic.</p><p>2) "Doomism" is a goal. The more we are complaining on how bad things are - the more successful they are. A great way to counter these influence operations is to talk about how _good_ things are. Because there's plenty of awesomeness in our society (I'm not from the US - that's a global perspective) to share.</p><p>3) These operations are _long term_. The troll factories aren't just newly created accounts spamming out the same message everywhere. That online magazine that has published for 10 years could be a sleeper influence operation. A person _living in Germany_ spending time online just as anybody else could too. </p><p>4) You're getting influenced. Basic psychology says you cannot avoid it (the anchoring effect). The only thing you can do is to be aware of it, and actively working against the very goals of the influence operations.</p><p>Remember what those were now again?</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/InfluenceOperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfluenceOperations</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a></p>
SS2K<p>It's important to remember—or learn and teach—our history and ongoing practice of creating terrible conditions that result in people fleeing north to the US in the name of wealth and global domination. Unfortunately, history and reality are as likely to be banned as taught.

Christina Lekati<p>Very good paper from the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence showcasing the use of AI models for targeted persuasion campaigns on social media. The paper is split in interconnected 2 parts: </p><p>1) <br>Research focusing on real use cases of AI-Generated persuasion campaigns in the German and Russian languages (AI-generated text in less common languages has been more difficult to detect by current AI detection tools).</p><p>The use cases include politically oriented content in German, pro-Kremlin messages, conspiracy theories aiming to cause unrest, and disinformation.</p><p>2) (most interesting!)<br>A red team experiment that looks into an adversary’s potential decision making when it comes to crafting, coordinating and launching a precision persuasion campaign.<br>The researchers used AI models to:</p><p>🔹 Define the "right" target profiles based on topics of interest.<br>🔹 Identify their demonstrated sentiment &amp; behavioral tendencies (based on a clustered analysis of their posts) on those topics of interest.<br>🔹 Perform psychometric, behavioral, and opinion-based analysis in order to segment those social media accounts into different groups.<br>The goal of this segmentation was to dig deeper into discovering certain traits about users that would be used in tailoring the&nbsp;targeting content in accordance with those psychometric characteristics.<br>🔹 Frame and phrase the message (the content) based on the user profile and the analysis performed in the previous steps, with the help of generative AI.</p><p>The results of the output - the "tailored" messages - are very interesting.</p><p>Keep in mind that this is the reality that we will be called to face in the near future. A higher scale of well-tailored information &amp; influence campaigns that will not only come accross our own social media profiles, but also the ones of everyday people that may NOT possess the level of awareness that you potentially do, but still have a vote to cast on important topics.</p><p>In any case, this is a highly recommended read.<br>The annex includes some of the prompts along with other interesting details. Enjoy!</p><p>Link: </p><p><a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/publications/ai-in-precision-persuasion-unveiling-tactics-and-risks-on-social-media/309" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stratcomcoe.org/publications/a</span><span class="invisible">i-in-precision-persuasion-unveiling-tactics-and-risks-on-social-media/309</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disinformation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/influenceoperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>influenceoperations</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/socialengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialengineering</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/informationoperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>informationoperations</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/artificialintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artificialintelligence</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>

Not Simon<p><strong>Microsoft:</strong> Nation-states engage in U.S.-focused influence operations ahead of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Russian election influence actors started ramping up activity in the last 45 days using a mix of themes from 2020 with a renewed focus on undermining U.S. support for Ukraine.
