Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: False Façade and CopyCop: two names for a new Russian influence operation. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Beatriz Marin, from the EEAS, and Clément Briens, from Recorded Future, will present their main findings on a new FIMI operation involving the creation and dissemination of pro-Russian content. The EEAS, in collaboration with Spanish authorities, uncovered the operation and dubbed it False Façade, in a reference to the aim of obscuring the origins and laundering the content before targeting Western audiences. Recorded Future’s researchers chose a different name, CopyCop, with an emphasis on the use of generative AI. This research offers an attribution and highlights coordination with different Russian campaigns such as Doppelganger and Portal Kombat.
