The Business of Disinformation: A Taxonomy

Since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the term “fake news” has integrated itself frmly into our daily vernacular. However, fake news is used very broadly to describe: disinformation, propaganda, hoaxes, satire and parody, inaccuracies in journalism, and partisanship. Disinformation campaigns are not limited to the geopolitical realm – its use is far more pervasive. The sheer availability of tools means that barriers to entry are lower than ever. This extends beyond geopolitical to fnancial interests that affect businesses and consumers. This paper presents an overview of these different motivations and tools actors can turn to. In Digital Shadows’ Disinformation Campaign Taxonomy, we lay out the stages used in disinformation campaigns. In doing so, it is possible to develop ways to potentially disrupt these efforts and create greater friction for actors involved.

Threat Intelligence Report: Mobile Malware As A Service

Long gone are the simple days of malware threats only being associated with the computers on our desks or at our business offices. Today, we’ve all become accustomed to malware infiltrating our homes and pockets across a variety of platforms, be that our telephones, tablets, smart TV or even ‘connected’ devices such as our fridges. Whilst malware can be tailored for different platforms and differ in their abilities or functionality, the overall taxonomy remains very much the same. Back in the ‘halcyon’ days many malware authors released their wares for fun, ‘lulz’ in modern parlance, today most are criminally motivated and driven by financial gain, ideology, revenge and nation state doctrine. The objective of these attacks, and the compromised devices or networks, are typically similar and result in the threat actor gaining access, leading to the theft of confidential and personal information, or disrupting the operations and functionality.
