‼️Russians are meddling in Polish elections. @alliance4europe.bsky.social and Debunk_org have just published a report on the latest phase of the Doppelganger operation. Instead of creating fake websites, Doppelganger's creators are using authentic content published by real media [link below ⤵️].

Last Friday I had the pleasure to present our work on the German Elections during the #Secure2025 conference. I showed how we used the CDN to organize ourselves and how journalists, OSINT researchers, and fact-checkers collaborated on tackling the influence operation STORM-1516.

RT DE recently created a new account on X. A few days after activating it, the account was suspended. X has now restored it. Restoring an account like this is a concrete example of X's negligence or unwillingness to abide by European laws. #Disinformation #Germany #deutschland #Bundestagswahl

I'm going through around 100 #Doppelganger accounts here on #Bluesky. A few simple patterns are appearing. One that I am trying to understand is when they comment on your post with a DG post. It seems automated. Could you please help me test this by helping me reach 15 interactions on this post?

Doppelgänger has started operating on Bluesky! We're working on mapping out their tactics and techniques to be able to track the operation.
