Malware of the Mind - Disinformation and Manipulation via Social Platforms

While disinformation has been around since the age of antiquity, in recent years it has taken centerstage as a highly disruptive force. In this talk I make some comparison cases for how malware and expanding compromise in a computing environment, has direct parallels to how biases and heuristics are exploited in human cognitive software during a disinformation campaign. The talk will conclude with the introduction of a disinformation kill chain.
