8/ My conclusion is bleak. There’s little “social” left in “social media” - at least the prevalent ones.
Would you have joined 8chan? No? Then, if you’re still on X or other social media taken over by these networks, you’ll want out. Don’t be the frog that’s being slowly boiled alive.

7/ Just check this simple query on X to see many more international “patriots” posting Pravda Network articles, most with the typical random letters+numbers username that we all choose when register our real accounts on social media, right?

6/ Is “she” alone? Oh no. Here’s another example of legit, patriotic, antisemite Finn posting the same content and logging into X from… a Swiss VPN IP.

5/ Do we know “she” is Russian-based? No. Do we know she’s real? Also no.
Because of course “she” operates the account from a VPN, and has zero personal information on it.
Except an anonymous blog on Blogspot, where “she” posts writings by… Aleksandr Dugin.

4/ But “she” doesn’t stop at that! Let’s not forget to throw in the mix a copy of the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it’s still fashionable in 2026 after all.

3/ “She” is gloating about the US threats to Greenland and Denmark, naturally. And doesn’t forget to link them to Denmark’s integrity in supporting Ukraine.

2/ Of course, she mainly posts articles from the “Pravda Network” (aka Portal Kombat, that we all know by now to be a Russian network. Check the great Viginum reports on it.)
“Her” niche is Finland, so here’s the Finnish website.

8/ Meta’s Adversarial Threat Report as described by @dagrano.bsky.social:
We just launched our new and expanded Adversarial Threat Report! We've been reporting on online threats like foreign interference for 7 years, but today's report expands our work to cover fraud, scams, and AI security threats. There's a ton in the report, I'll try to break it down in this thread. 1/

7/ Will Endless Mayfly cease their operations now that they have been repeatedly exposed, disrupted, and finally attributed?
Maybe. But there is reason to believe that their ability to pollute the information ecosystem will make them resilient to such setbacks.
It’s key to stay vigilant.
