Russian internet trolls appear to be shifting strategy to disrupt the 2020 elections, promoting divisive messages "through phony social media accounts instead of creating propaganda themselves," Bloomberg's Alyza Sebenius writes.
Details: Russian hackers are trying to circumvent protections put in place by Facebook and Twitter after the 2016 election. "Instead of creating content themselves, we see them amplifying content," hiding behind someone else, said John Hultquist, director of intelligence analysis at FireEye.
Be smart: Hacked devices "are used to create many legitimate-looking users as well as believable followers and likes for those fake users."
