France Exposes Russian Disinformation Campaign Targeting French Websites and Media

France discovered a Russian campaign to spread misinformation by creating fake versions of major French media and government websites.
The campaign was designed to spread confusion about the war in Ukraine and sow division.
France's cybersecurity agency traced the campaign to Russian individuals, companies, and government entities.
The campaign is linked to a larger Russian disinformation network that Meta uncovered last year.
France blocked cyberattacks on government websites and major French media sites linked to the campaign.
