Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Hackers post fake stories on real news sites ‘to discredit Nato’
In Florida, a teenager was charged for hijacking the Twitter accounts of multiple high-profile figures, including former President Barack Obama, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, entrepreneur Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden. The 17-year-old hacker put false tweets on their accounts requesting for Bitcoin donations.
In Europe, hackers broke into real new websites and posted fake stories for their cause to stir up the anti-NATO sentiment. It is suspected that Russian interests are behind the hacking to stop NATO to deploy its forces in Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland, each of whom was a former member or ally of the Soviet Union.
If such popular and trusted accounts or websites are hijacked so easily, what can be trusted, especially before elections or polls? Since anything could go viral so quickly and widely, readers and viewers seem to be required to judge what is authentic or not.
Enjoy reading the article and think if you keep a critical eye on what’s shown on the web.
