According to a report noticed through politician, Ucrinform wrote.

According to Doppelgänger, an operation through Ergygänger, a German assistance operation, is a misinformation operation on the social media platform, and adds that in the middle of the effort to influence German voters, according to the German foreign office. The Crusade USA FAUX News News Sites, Sleeping Accounts and the content generated by AI to disseminate false and erode narratives accept as true in Western institutions.

Intelligence agencies throughout the EU and the United States have already followed the “highly coordinated” tactics of Doppelgänger, which have tried to undermine Ukraine in their war opposite to Russia and magnify messages adapted to the Kremlin.

According to officials, German officials have learned about more than a hundred pseudo-news stories quietly accumulated for months.

“These platforms are structured similarly, filled with generic, often AI-generated articles,” one official said. “At a chosen moment, a fabricated story is inserted and then rapidly spread via social media and influencers. We must assume these sites were prepared to be activated in the run-up to the Bundestag election.”

These sleeping imitate valid media and remain inactive until a politically delicate moment, as an choice, when they begin to publish false stories that are temporarily spread through coordinated social networks.

In recent years, the European government has blamed Moscow for interference in a series of elections. The Czech and Belgian government exploded a main influence of influence that, according to them, distributed pro-kremlin propagand Russia was “aggressive” to hybrid attacks.

The consultation is delicate of the German elections, where the election of the respectful right party of Elon Musk, followed through Elon Musk, is in the position at the moment in the opinion surveys.

Doppelgänger Internet sites have already cloned sales problems such as Der Spiegel, modifying domain names to lie to readers without distrust.

The clearest climbing signal is on Musk X platform, Twitter.

The report, reviewed via Politico, shows strong building in ghost account positions, with 3,000 positions activity on a single day in the past in January. For much of November and December, activity remained low, rarely exceeding 50 positions consistent with the day. But in early January, coordinated disinformation posts began to look very consistent with frequency.

This “overload” strategy, flooding social networks with waves of publications to manufacture the ghost of viral traction, is a characteristic of Russian misinformation campaigns.

The content of the publications also follows a transparent pattern. Many are pointing to Germany to Ukraine, saying that Berlin is prioritizing kyiv over his own citizens. An example, documented in the report, describes a manufactured corruption scandal that involves Economy Minister Robert Habeck and a Ukrainian Ukrainian Minister of Culture. “

Meanwhile, Berlin is stepping up its counter-disinformation efforts, sharing intelligence with international partners, and considering sanctions and public attribution of the networks behind the campaign.

“We are working on a ‘cultural shift’ within the Foreign Ministry,” the official told POLITICO, referring to growing awareness of cyberthreats. “Ambassadors are becoming more vocal in their host countries. This ensures that when disinformation spreads, they have the credibility and networks to set the record straight.”
