Chapter 2 in Disinformation Attacks On Businesses, 2026, pp 7-12 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter demonstrates how disinformation has evolved from a tool of political conflict into a central weapon against the economy. State and private actors are deliberately transferring proven mass manipulation techniques to target companies, cities, and entire industries. Disinformation attacks do not target IT systems but rather the trust of customers, investors, and partners—making them harder to detect and more costly to defend against than conventional cyberattacks. The number of such attacks is soaring, with damages already reaching into the billions.
