Alethea Discovers Russia's New Disinformation Network Tactics to Interfere in 2024 US Elections and Global Democracies

Wednesday, March 27, 2024

WASHINGTON and SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alethea today released a report that demonstrates Doppelganger, a persistent Russian influence campaign first publicly exposed in 2022 and active primarily on X which promotes narratives intended to undermine support for Ukraine among the U.S. and its allies, is likely being leveraged by the Russian intelligence service, commonly referred to as the GRU. Based on Alethea's analysis, the Kremlin appears to have shifted its strategy from sowing division in target democracies to a sole focus on undermining support for Ukraine in global democracies. The narratives pushed by the network are protectionist and isolationist, helping to further Russia's goal of a weaker Ukraine with fewer resources. Currently, that means that Russian influence efforts are more likely to target conservative voters and support candidates that oppose military aid funding in Ukraine, including in the United States and Germany.

Key Points: 
  • Based on Alethea's analysis, the Kremlin appears to have shifted its strategy from sowing division in target democracies to a sole focus on undermining support for Ukraine in global democracies.
  • The narratives pushed by the network are protectionist and isolationist, helping to further Russia's goal of a weaker Ukraine with fewer resources.
  • Dubbed 'Invisible Ink,' Alethea reports on Russia's increased sophistication in disinformation campaigns.
  • "The network demonstrates an evolution of Russian objectives with their information operations," said Alethea Founder and CEO Lisa Kaplan.

Moveit hack: attack on BBC and BA offers glimpse into the future of cybercrime

Retrieved on: 
Monday, June 19, 2023

The stolen data is said to include staff names, staff ID numbers and national insurance numbers (although, importantly, not banking details).

Key Points: 
  • The stolen data is said to include staff names, staff ID numbers and national insurance numbers (although, importantly, not banking details).
  • But, other than for those personally affected, the real issue is what this attack reveals about the evolution of cybercrime.
  • More cybercriminals are realising that if they can compromise a trusted supplier, this will lead to the compromise of that organisation’s customers.
  • This allowed hackers to compromise Zellis, a trusted supplier of services to BA, the BBC, Boots and others.

Future of cybercrime

    • This suggests these cybercriminals have learned from previous supply-chain attacks, and are experimenting with making the strategy commercially viable.
    • In supply-chain attacks, cybercriminals target one organisation by attacking an external provider they use.
    • Attributed to Russia’s military intelligence agency the GRU, SolarWinds was seen as being mainly motivated by state espionage.

Evolutionary step

    • This was arguably always going to be an evolutionary step for cybercriminals.
    • Later, criminal copycats such as cl0p apply the same strategy, avoiding the pain of inventing new methods.
    • The ultimatum issued by cl0p is also revealing about the behaviour and motivation of cybercriminals.
    • The final step in maximising the return from the attack, by making all the victims pay, is clearly harder than with simple ransomware, where the focus is on one target organisation and one route to the pay-out from the crime.
