Fishwrap Campaign Sways Social Media Users with Old News

An influence operation that recycles old news about terror incidents and re-publishes them as if they were new is making the rounds on social media. The technique, dubbed Fishwrap, is also using a special family of shortened tracking URLs to record click-throughs from the posts used in their campaigns. The Fishwrap campaign is likely a coordinated effort mounted by a sophisticated adversary, researchers said. At least 215 social-media accounts are participating in the Fishwrap operation, which has been going on since mid-2018.
