Upcoming Content This Month

REPORT

Election Disinformation

In the lead-up to the upcoming U.S. presidential election, the disinformation landscape is becoming increasingly complex. DarkOwl analysts have delved into how mis- and disinformation originating from the dark web, and alternative online spaces, is infiltrating mainstream platforms. Various actors, including nation states, U.S.-based political movements, and conspiracy groups, are shaping this online space. Their activities have led to false narratives moving between the deep, dark web and more widely accessible platforms.

As major social media companies struggle with regulating disinformation, narratives once confined to niche spaces are now gaining broader traction. This underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the growing influence of disinformation as the election approaches.

WEBINAR

Election Disinformation

In this webinar, DarkOwl analysts explore the disinformation landscape on the dark web in the context of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What emerges is a complex, multifaceted online space characterized by a variety of actors, ranging from nation states to American citizens and U.S.-based conspiratorial political movements. All of the above play key roles in both creating and amplifying mis- and disinformation which has seeped from the deep and dark web onto the surface web, and vice versa. As a number of prominent social media platforms maintain policies of limited disinformation regulation, false narratives previously concentrated on the dark web and alternative social media platforms have become mainstream, thereby gaining traction and reaching greater audiences. Combined, these factors reflect a complex environment in the lead up to the election, and highlight the importance of identifying and combatting mis- and disinformation. Registration coming soon!

Cyber Actor Spotlight: Terrorgram

DarkOwl analysts regularly follow threat actors on the darknet who openly discuss cyberattacks and disseminate stolen information such as critical corporate or personal data. Such analysis helps DarkOwl’s collection team direct crawlers and technical resources to potentially actionable and high-value content for the Vision platform and its clients. In this upcoming edition, we will explore Terrorgram, a far-right, white supremacist group that has been prevalent on Telegram. The Terrorgram logo to the left is a combination of the Telegram app logo and LSSAH insignia (The 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler or SS Division Leibstandarte).
