Data voids are hard to detect and relatively harmless until exploited by an entity aiming to quickly proliferate false or misleading information during a phenomenon that causes a high number of individuals to query the term or phrase. In the Plan phase, an influence operation may identify data voids for later exploitation in the operation. A 2019 report by Michael Golebiewski identifies five types of data voids. (1) “Breaking news” data voids occur when a keyword gains popularity during a short period of time, allowing an influence operation to publish false content before legitimate news outlets have an opportunity to publish relevant information. (2) An influence operation may create a “strategic new terms” data void by creating their own terms and publishing information online before promoting their keyword to the target audience. (3) An influence operation may publish content on “outdated terms” that have decreased in popularity, capitalising on most search engines’ preferences for recency. (4) “Fragmented concepts” data voids separate connections between similar ideas, isolating segment queries to distinct search engine results. (5) An influence operation may use “problematic queries” that previously resulted in disturbing or inappropriate content to promote messaging until mainstream media recontextualizes the term. -**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities +**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.003.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.003.md index 5bf0e20..5a35c4e 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.003.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.003.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: An influence operation may exploit existing racial, religious, demographic, or social prejudices to further polarise its target audience from the rest of the public. -**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities +**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.004.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.004.md index 58f1c06..336d61b 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.004.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.004.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: An influence operation may identify existing fissures to pit target populations against one another or facilitate a “divide-and-conquer" approach to tailor operation narratives along the divides. -**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities +**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.005.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.005.md index 030c443..dfbead8 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.005.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.005.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: An influence operation may assess preexisting conspiracy theories or suspicions in a population to identify existing narratives that support operational objectives. -**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities +**Tactic**: TA13 Target Audience Analysis **Parent Technique:** T0081 Identify Social and Technical Vulnerabilities | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.006.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.006.md index fa2f0e6..2c1bbd2 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.006.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0081.006.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: A wedge issue is a divisive political issue, usually concerning a social phenomenon, that divides individuals along a defined line.

Data voids are hard to detect and relatively harmless until exploited by an entity aiming to quickly proliferate false or misleading information during a phenomenon that causes a high number of individuals to query the term or phrase. In the Plan phase, an influence operation may identify data voids for later exploitation in the operation. A 2019 report by Michael Golebiewski identifies five types of data voids. (1) “Breaking news” data voids occur when a keyword gains popularity during a short period of time, allowing an influence operation to publish false content before legitimate news outlets have an opportunity to publish relevant information. (2) An influence operation may create a “strategic new terms” data void by creating their own terms and publishing information online before promoting their keyword to the target audience. (3) An influence operation may publish content on “outdated terms” that have decreased in popularity, capitalising on most search engines’ preferences for recency. (4) “Fragmented concepts” data voids separate connections between similar ideas, isolating segment queries to distinct search engine results. (5) An influence operation may use “problematic queries” that previously resulted in disturbing or inappropriate content to promote messaging until mainstream media recontextualizes the term. -**Tactic**: TA05 Microtarget **Parent Technique:** T0102 Leverage Echo Chambers/Filter Bubbles +**Tactic**: TA05 Microtarget **Parent Technique:** T0102 Leverage Echo Chambers/Filter Bubbles | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.001.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.001.md index 65650d2..8dff1a9 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.001.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.001.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: TV -**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media +**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.002.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.002.md index 48e40d8..a2abc99 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.002.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.002.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: Newspaper -**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media +**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.003.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.003.md index 09a404a..ecec086 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.003.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0111.003.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: Radio -**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media +**Tactic**: TA07 Select Channels and Affordances **Parent Technique:** T0111 Traditional Media | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.001.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.001.md index d614b4f..654ed0e 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.001.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.001.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: Social Media -**Tactic**: TA09 Deliver Content **Parent Technique:** T0114 Deliver Ads +**Tactic**: TA09 Deliver Content **Parent Technique:** T0114 Deliver Ads | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.002.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.002.md index dfb58d9..edb3d0c 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.002.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0114.002.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: Examples include TV, Radio, Newspaper, billboards -**Tactic**: TA09 Deliver Content **Parent Technique:** T0114 Deliver Ads +**Tactic**: TA09 Deliver Content **Parent Technique:** T0114 Deliver Ads | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0115.001.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0115.001.md index b258a7b..4a0ab2f 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0115.001.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0115.001.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: Memes are one of the most important single artefact types in all of computational propaganda.

People may present as parodies to create humour or make a point by exaggerating or altering elements of the original, while still maintaining recognizable elements.

The use of parody is not an indication of inauthentic or malicious behaviour; parody allows people to present ideas or criticisms in a comedic or exaggerated manner, softening the impact of sensitive or contentious topics. Because parody is often protected as a form of free speech or artistic expression, it provides a legal and social framework for discussing controversial issues.

However, parody personas may be perceived as authentic personas, leading to people mistakenly believing that a parody account’s statements represent the real opinions of a parodied target. Threat actors may also use the guise of parody to spread campaign content. Parody personas may disclaim that they are operating as a parody, however this is not always the case, and is not always given prominence. -**Tactic**: TA16 Establish Legitimacy **Parent Technique:** T0143 Persona Legitimacy +**Tactic**: TA16 Establish Legitimacy **Parent Technique:** T0143 Persona Legitimacy | Associated Technique | Description | diff --git a/generated_pages/techniques/T0144.001.md b/generated_pages/techniques/T0144.001.md index 60e683c..697c12e 100644 --- a/generated_pages/techniques/T0144.001.md +++ b/generated_pages/techniques/T0144.001.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ **Summary**: This sub-technique covers situations where analysts have identified the same persona being presented across multiple platforms.
