International Reporter Team Reveals: Israeli Cyber Company Leads in Spreading Fake News and Propaganda.
Election manipulation, propaganda, fake news, character assassination of political opponents – these are all methods that the Western public primarily associates with the Kremlin. An international team of reporters has now revealed that an Israeli cyber company is also using these means – with no qualms where customers and targets are concerned, and at a seemingly unprecedented high technical level.
The group claims to have manipulated 33 elections around the world, 27 of which were successful. For democracies, the findings reveal a new kind of challenge: An international team of reporters is said to have researched the Israeli company and its methods for nine months.
