The Kremlin has launched a disinformation campaign spreading false claims that MI6 and other Western intelligence agencies were responsible for Friday’s terrorist attack in Moscow.
A network of automated “bot” social media accounts has been sharing links to fake websites, designed to look like well-known news outlets, that blame the West for the massacre that left 167 people dead, The Insider reported.
According to a report by Facebook parent company Meta Platforms, the spam attack was carried out by the Russian IT companies National Technologies and Social Design Agency, both of which fall under EU sanctions and have been linked to the Kremlin.
