How Russian Disinformation Campaigns Exploit Domain Registrars and AI
In this episode of Breaking Badness, host Kali Fencl is joined by DomainTools' Daniel Schwabe
and disinformation expert Scot Terban to uncover how modern Russian disinformation
campaigns are using domain registrars, homoglyph attacks, and generative AI to mimic
legitimate news outlets and manipulate public perception. From the eerie sophistication of
Doppelganger operations to the exploitation of domain infrastructure, this episode sheds light on how truth is being weaponized in the digital era.
We also explore how AI is accelerating the speed and scale of these attacks, and the limited
levers defenders have to push back.
