25/01/2024 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 23 January, the European External Action Service published its second report on foreign information manipulation and interference threats (FIMI). It is based on 750 FIMI incidents investigated between 1 December 2022 and 30 November 2023. The report shows that Ukraine remains the most targeted country in the incidents surveyed and that the targeting is diversified. In the sample used, 149 different organisations were targeted - most often the EU and its Member States, but also NATO and the media. Fifty-nine different people were targeted, including the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell. More than 4,000 channels (websites, social networks, etc.) were active 9,800 times out of the 750 incidents surveyed in this report, noting that the use of AI remains minimal.
