WASHINGTON – Russian intelligence agencies have spread erroneous data on the coronavirus pandemic, according to newly declassified intelligence, curtains that monitor how Moscow continues to influence Americans in the run-up to the election.
The russian army intelligence, known as GRU, has used its links to a Russian government data center, InfoRos and other network sites to spread data and propaganda about the pandemic, adding to exaggerating Chinese false arguments that the virus was created across the United States. Army items that Russia’s medical assistance can also bring a new détente with Washington.
Disdata’s efforts are a refinement of what Russia tried to do in 2016. Fake social media accounts and bots used through the Internet Research Agency and other Russian-subsidized group stations to exaggerate fake stories have proven undeniable. But it is a more challenging burden for maximum logic to spreading press articles appearing on websites that seem legitimate, according to outside experts.
“Russian intelligence agencies play a more central role in the disdatum efforts that Russia is driving lately,” said Laura Rosenberger, director of the Alliance for Security of Democracy. “This is never the brutal force” of constant operations through the Internet Research Agency.
Two U.S. officials described the newly declassified data, but did not emerge with the underlying reports in G.R.U. activities. and the S.V.R., Moscow’s equivalent of the C.I.A. They baffle the data on condition of anonymity.
While the de-state efforts described by U.S. officials Tuesday targeting the pandemic, security researchers said Russia continues to press on erroneous data on the issues.
Facebok has started tagging stories that appear on state-sponsored news sites such as RT and Sputnik. But it’s harder for social media corporations to detect and tag news that’s posted on conspiracy sites, experts.
