The U.S. Justice Department has disrupted a Russian operation using fake AI-enhanced social media accounts to spread pro-Kremlin messages in the U.S. and abroad. This action precedes the upcoming U.S. presidential election, with officials monitoring for potential disruptions.
The operation, funded by the Kremlin and coordinated through a Russian intelligence-backed organization, aimed to create and manage hundreds of fake social accounts.
The Justice Department seized domains and investigated with Dutch authorities, revealing the campaign’s operations based in the Netherlands.
