    Default Russian Info, Cyber and Disinformation (July 2017 to)

    A new thread for these topics. The earlier thread, which covered January-June 2017, had 1048 posts, with 63k views:Russian Info, Cyber and Disinformation (Jan-June 2017)

    A small number of posts may be moved here in a moment, so this post is likely not to be the first post.

    Moderator's Note

    A new thread for these topics. The earlier thread, which covered January-June 2017, had 1048 posts, with 63k views:Russian Info, Cyber and Disinformation (Jan-June 2017)

    Update July 9th 2017: This thread clearly overlaps with others, especially the allegations that Russia has interfered / intervened in the US election process and a large number (124 plus) of posts were added here instead of being posted in the Trump thread - as that thread was closed for a review. Those posts will now be moved to the Trump thread, which will remain closed(ends).

    The last time Holder tweeted something like this was the day Comey was fired.

    Many in D.C. are speculating that something big is on its way.

    The same APT that stands behind #BlackEnergy (Prykarpattyaoblenergo fame) is responsible for the #Petya attack.

    APT 28.......Russian state sponsored GRU hacking group....

    Kremlin propaganda outlet @SputnikInt
    will now air in DC on a radio station that used to play bluegrass music. Because it's 2017.

    Default Moderator's Review concluded and thread is closed

    This thread has clearly overlapped with others, especially the allegations that Russia has interfered / intervened in the US election process and a large number (124 plus) of posts have now be moved to the Trump thread, which will remain closed. Only a small number have been deleted which were way beyond the Forum's ToR.

    SWJ's Forum is not for political discussion. We aim to be an 'online discussion board', not for one individual(s) to dominate.

    Clearly this thread has been used by one member to post, he has now announced publicly that he has stopped posting. This thread will now be closed.

    If members wish to comment on developments in the USA, that refer to Russian Info & Cyber Operations, a new thread can be opened.

    This is an example of the automated Twitter bot trolls working in Germany and it is exactly the same way in US even using English...

    Wow!
    This really works.
    An automated #Kremlin troll network reacts to certain terms on @twitter with propaganda replies.

    NOTE...there have been 1.2M automated non human bots ADDED to Trump's twitter account as "Followers" in the last 21 days......

    BUT the Russian AI is not working as well as they planned it would..as there have been some examples of automated bots replying to an automated bot....

    Veterans Today, which partners with Russian and Iranian propaganda media, has a subtle message.

    What is a US Vets group doing working with Russian and Iranian media outlets.....
