“Microsoft Uncovers Russian Disinformation Campaign Behind Fake Kamala Harris Hit-and-Run Story”

A recent investigation by Microsoft has revealed that a false narrative claiming Kamala Harris was involved in a hit-and-run incident in San Francisco in 2011 is part of a covert Russian disinformation campaign. The research identified the operation as being orchestrated by a group known as Storm-1516, which is linked to the Kremlin and operates as a troll farm. According to Microsoft's findings, the group fabricated a video and hired an actor to portray the supposed victim of the incident. They disseminated this misleading information through a fake website for a non-existent San Francisco news outlet called KBSF-TV. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts by foreign entities to manipulate public perception and spread false information through sophisticated tactics.
