Bluesky accounts hijacked in pro-Russia propaganda campaign
A Russian influence campaign hijacked hundreds of Bluesky accounts — many belonging to influential Americans — to spread propaganda, researchers said, in a striking disinformation tactic that weaponized authentic identities rather than relying on fake accounts.
The campaign, which the researchers at Clemson University linked to the Moscow-based firm Social Design Agency (SDA), targeted journalists, academics, and filmmakers on the tech platform.
