This Russian Botnet Is Capable of Manipulating Social Media Trends on a 'Massive
Scale,' Report Claims
Need to spread some disinformation all over the world? A Russian company apparently has a quick and easy recipe for that.

A new report claims that a subcontractor working for Russia’s 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.
The report is based on documents and other materials that were stolen from the contractor and leaked by the hacktivist group “Digital Revolution” in March of 2020.
Botnets are networks of malware-infected devices that cybercriminals use to engage in coordinated malicious behavior. Hackers use them to launch cyberattacks, engage in crypto-mining, spread spam emails, and other terrible stuff.
In this case, 0Day Technologies is alleged to have wielded a botnet 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.

"The expert tapped to lead the board, Nina Jankowicz<https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/poorly-conceived-biden-disinformatio...>, faced a wave of ferocious, viral, and often personal attacks online as well as scrutiny over her past statements seeming to betray her partisan sympathies. Now, just three weeks later, the Disinformation Governance Board is no more, and Jankowicz has resigned." Tutt'altro che "expert", la Jankowicz<https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/poorly-conceived-biden-disinformatio...> e' promotrice di un falso dietro l'altro, dal report Steele in avanti: il curriculum peggiore che si potesse proporre. Mettere una fondamentalista, assolutamente schierata politicamente, al tavolo di controllo sulla disinformazione, e' l'ennesimo errore di un amministrazione poco recettiva. ________________________________ Da: nexa <nexa-bounces@server-nexa.polito.it> per conto di Stefano Quintarelli <stefano@quintarelli.it> Inviato: domenica 22 maggio 2022 13:05:54 A: Nexa Oggetto: Re: [nexa] "The Liberal Obsession With ‘Disinformation’ Is Not Helping" mah

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). jc On 22/05/22 13:05, Stefano Quintarelli wrote:

Hundreds of millions of disinfo dollars are sloshing around the nonprofit world, funding institutes at universities and extravagant conventions across the world. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- cito dall'articolo [1]: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- But she is most worried about disinformation, because it seems so new, and because so new, so isolable, and because so isolable, so fixable. It has something to do, she knows, with the algorithm. [...] Just as, say, smoking causes cancer, consuming bad information must cause changes in belief or behavior that are bad, by some standard. [...] Behold, the platforms and their most prominent critics both proclaim: hundreds of millions of Americans in an endless grid, ready for manipulation, ready for activation. Want to change an output—say, an insurrection, or a culture of vaccine skepticism? Change your input. Want to solve the “crisis of faith in key institutions” and the “loss of faith in evidence-based reality”? Adopt a better content-moderation policy. The fix, you see, has something to do with the algorithm. [...] Luckily for the aspiring Cold War propagandist, the American ad industry had polished up a pitch. It had spent the first half of the century trying to substantiate its worth through association with the burgeoning fields of scientific management and laboratory psychology. Cultivating behavioral scientists and appropriating their jargon, writes the economist Zoe Sherman, allowed ad sellers to offer “a veneer of scientific certainty” to the art of persuasion: [...] The most comprehensive survey of the field to date, a 2018 scientific literature review titled “Social Media, Political Polarization, and Political Disinformation,” reveals some gobsmacking deficits. The authors fault disinformation research for failing to explain why opinions change; lacking solid data on the prevalence and reach of disinformation; and declining to establish common definitions for the most important terms in the field, including disinformation, misinformation, online propaganda, hyperpartisan news, fake news, clickbait, rumors, and conspiracy theories. The sense prevails that no two people who research disinformation are talking about quite the same thing. [...] These stories of persuasion are, like the story of online advertising, plagued by the difficulty of disentangling correlation from causation. Is social media creating new types of people, or simply revealing long-obscured types of people to a segment of the public unaccustomed to seeing them? The latter possibility has embarrassing implications for the media and academia alike. [...] Still, Big Disinfo can barely contain its desire to hand the power of disseminating knowledge back to a set of “objective” gatekeepers. [...] The vision of a godlike scientist bestriding the media on behalf of the U.S. government is almost a century old. After the First World War, the academic study of propaganda was explicitly progressive and reformist, seeking to expose the role of powerful interests in shaping the news. Then, in the late 1930s, the Rockefeller Foundation began sponsoring evangelists of a new discipline called communication research. [...] As a matter of policy, it’s much easier to focus on an adjustable algorithm than entrenched social conditions. [...] It is a model of cause and effect in which the information circulated by a few corporations has the total power to justify the beliefs and behaviors of the demos. In a way, this world is a kind of comfort. Easy to explain, easy to tweak, and easy to sell, it is a worthy successor to the unified vision of American life produced by twentieth-century television. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Quindi davvero è principalmente un problema di Bot (botnet?)

Credo che l'executive summary dell'intero pezzo sia in questo paragrafo: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- “Disinformation” was the liberal Establishment’s traumatic reaction to the psychic wound of 2016. It provided an answer that evaded the question altogether, protecting them from the agony of self-reflection. It wasn’t that the country was riven by profound antinomies and resentments born of material realities that would need to be navigated by new kinds of politics. No, the problem was that large swaths of the country had been duped, brainwashed by nefarious forces both foreign and domestic. And if only the best minds, the most credentialed experts, could be given new authority to regulate the flow of “fake news,” the scales would fall from the eyes of the people and they would re-embrace the old order they had been tricked into despising. This fantasy turned a political problem into a scientific one. The rise of Trump called not for new politics but new technocrats. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- e da questo punto di vista è ormai abbastanza evidente che questa è la reazione patologica standard alle ferite psichiche che subiscono le elìtes di sinistra, destra, sopra e sotto, di ogni latitudine geografica e politica: se non ci date il vostro consenso è perché non capite, non capite perché siete disinformati /quindi/ servono /tecniche/ per informarvi in modo tale che voi siate portati a vedere la realtà come si deve; siamo NOI che siamo buoni a dover controllare /chirurgicamente/ la /narrativa/, altrimenti la controllano LORO che sono cattivi. Io suggerirei umilmente a tutti i professionisti dell'informazione di smetterla di puntare a censurare la disinformazione degli altri [1] per concentrarsi sulla disinformazione prodotta "in casa", eh?!? Saluti, 380° [1] anche perché è scientificamente dimostrato che da almeno tre anni a questa parte porta decisamente sfiga, considerando cosucce come "l'origine zoonotica del SARS-COV-2", il "Russia Gate" e il laptop di Hunter Biden :-O -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
