These operations have primarily targeted audiences in Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland with narratives critical of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) presence in Eastern Europe while also leveraging anti-U.S. and COVID-19 themes. Mandiant Threat Intelligence has dubbed this campaign “Ghostwriter” based on its use of compromises news sites and fake personas to disseminate fabricated content.
