Disrupting a new covert influence campaign from Russia
State-linked influence operations using LLMs to manufacture fake think tanks is now a recurring disclosure pattern from every major lab, and this one specifically weaponized a fabricated pro-Russia policy index. The mechanics matter more than the takedown: fake institutional credibility is cheap to generate at scale now, and detection still runs after the content has circulated. Builders working on content provenance or media verification should treat these disclosures as a running dataset, not one-off news.
