Tutto può essere, ma è comunque un rapporto di un'impresa di cybersecurity
della Virginia che descrive le presunte capacità di un'impresa
di cybersecurity che risiede in Russia...
Ripeto, tutto può essere.
Ma di per sé non credo incrini le riflessioni
dell'articolo che ho condiviso (e che personalmente condivido).

intelligence service has a botnet capable of manipulating trends on
social media platforms on a “massive scale.” The report, published
Thursday by the cybersecurity firm Nisos, alleges that the
Moscow-based firm 0day Technologies can spread disinformation at a
frightening rate using a customizable suite that is tied to a
malicious network. The company has previously worked with the Federal
Security Service, one of Russia’s primary intelligence agencies.

codenamed “Fronton” (or “Фронтон,” in Russian), which came equipped
with a dashboard suite capable of generating fake social media
profiles and distributing inauthentic content at scale. The suite,
dubbed SANA, enables the user to “formulate and deploy trending social
media events en masse,” the Nisos report says.
