1/ We just released our Q1 Adversarial Threat Report, which incl deep dives into influence ops, espionage ops, and malware campaigns disrupted in Q1 this year. Read the report here, and I’ll dive into some takeaways from the espionage networks in this 🧵

5/ One of the challenges we see with for-hire operators like the ones behind this campaign is obfuscation of the end client. It makes it harder for security teams to understand and prove the entire chain of attribution. This is exactly why we share threat indicators with others.

4/ Finally, tech companies can only attribute these campaigns based on the evidence each company has access to, and Meta has done so consistently over the past 7 years of our extensive threat reporting. This included some of the most notable attribution breakthroughs in the.

3/ Overall, we’ve invested more than $20B in our work on safety and security since 2016, that includes dedicated efforts to detect, disrupt and publicly report these findings, in addition to sharing our insights with other tech companies and researchers so they can study and.

2/ It’s important to note that this campaign (and its ad spend) was global in nature, not UK and France alone. In fact, they targeted Lebanon, the US, UK, and France, and to a lesser extent Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

1/ A few things to clarify on our threat research into this covert influence operation:. In our quarterly Adversarial Threat Report this month, we shared details about this and other covert influence operations we disrupted globally. One of them was this anti-Qatar campaign that

6/ Want to dig deeper into Doppelganger’s cross-internet presence yourself? Our teams added 600+ new signals to our large repository of threat indicators on our public GitHub:

5/ In addition to continuing to block and remove, constantly adding friction and making these cross-internet efforts less and less effective, we share some recommendations to make our collective response stronger across industry and government:

4/ Our teams aggressively work to counter Doppelganger through investigations, takedowns, and scaled detection and enforcement. we’ve seen those efforts have real effects in degrading their capabilities. In addition to currently abandoning many of the tactics on our platforms,

3/ We also released an update on Doppelganger, an IO from Russia that we first discovered and reported almost two years ago. This is a persistent, nation-state backed (per US/EU reporting) operation targeting Ukraine and its allies in wartime. It’s incredibly cross-platform,.

2/ First, these are all adversarial networks constantly trying to find workarounds for our industry’s detection to slip through across the internet. That’s why we use the Threat Disruption model - to constantly detect, disrupt, and improve scaled systems to degrade their.

1/ This week, we released our Q1 Adversarial Threat Report, which includes insights into influence ops we disrupted from Iran, Israel, China, and a number of other countries. A few takeaways 🧵.
