[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Meta, the parent company of Facebook, issued a statement a few days ago, saying that it had detected several fake accounts operating in Russia and attempted to spread information conducive to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ben Nimmo, head of global threat intelligence at Meta, said that all the fake accounts have been removed, which is also the most complex and largest network organization that Meta has cracked so far.

According to the US "CNN" report, Nim further explained that the fake accounts once active on the social platform were actually part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The report data shows that more than 2,000 Facebook accounts and fan pages have promoted the invasion of Ukraine for Russia. In addition, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Telegram and other social software have also become Russia's "big foreigners". An important platform for propaganda.

The disinformation spread by fake accounts is also the focus of Meta. Nim added that the external websites linked from the social platform are almost all fake; these websites deliberately imitate the layout of some international well-known media, but the content is basically false information.

Russia has used websites to claim that Ukraine planned and murdered local civilians during the Russian occupation of Bucha.

The report pointed out that these fake accounts are spreading fake news that has not been verified as fact, but in order to avoid official scrutiny, they will try to make themselves appear to have a certain degree of "authority".

Nim admitted to the media that this "fake account attack" is indeed the most organized cyber military operation they have ever seen.
