Russian disinfo shifts to Harris, Walz ahead of U.S. presidential election, per Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center.
Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center reveals that Russian disinformation efforts have shifted focus to Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ahead of the U.S. presidential election. Following President Biden's exit from the race, Russian-linked troll farms began spreading manipulated videos and conspiracy theories, including a false hit-and-run claim against Harris. These tactics aim to undermine public confidence in the electoral process. Other foreign actors, like Iran and China, are also attempting to influence U.S. voters.
