Researchers have uncovered a widespread influence campaign that aims to discredit the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 North American and European countries. The operations primarily targeted audiences in Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland, which are all members of NATO. Researchers assess with moderate confidence that the operations are aligned with Russian security interests However, they said that at this time they are not attributing the campaign to a specific actor or group of actors. The influence campaign does not merely spread false news content on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, as other disinformation campaigns have done.
