In a report dated Oct. 26, the cybersecurity firm Mandiant identified new narratives pushed by Dragonbridge, an online disinformation campaign. The report says that Dragonbridge—in an effort to influence the U.S. midterm elections—has been aggressively seeking to create conflicts between the United States and its allies and within the U.S. political system.
In an earlier report, Mandiant states that Dragonbridge consists of a vast network of fake social media accounts promoting specific narratives in line with the political interests of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
