Distributed Disinformation Defense, with Sara-Jayne Terp

Disinformation is affecting our every-day lives. In 2016, we discussed disinformation campaigns in terms of the impact on the US election. In just 4 years, misinformation has evolved to the point where it is now being used by a spectrum of threat-actors from activists to nation states, who routinely use cybercraft as a preferred approach. This talk discusses that evolution and the work of the CogSecCollab and CTI-League Disinformation team on the front-lines of disinformation defence.
