Cyber Disinformation

Cyber disinformation refers to the intentional spread of false or misleading information online, often to manipulate public opinion, confuse, or harm individuals or groups. In the context of cyber crime law, it encompasses activities such as creating fake news, social media hoaxes, or fraudulent campaigns that can impact elections, public health, and social stability. Cyber disinformation can lead to legal consequences for perpetrators, especially when it violates laws related to fraud, defamation, or national security, highlighting the need for vigilance and accountability in the digital information landscape.
