In April, Recorded Future published a report detailing a Russian disinformation operation, dubbed Operation Pinball. A continuation of an earlier disinformation operation known as Secondary Infektion, Operation Pinball forged diplomatic emails and planted articles on a number of social media sites in an attempt to undermine multiple governments and impersonate U.S. lawmakers. Operation Pinball used multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and LiveJournal. Recorded Future attributed the operation with high confidence to coordinated activity.
