| Counters in M008 | ||
| disarm_id | name | summary |
| C00047 | Honeypot with coordinated inauthentics | Flood disinformation spaces with obviously fake content, to dilute core misinformation narratives in them. |
| C00140 | "Bomb" link shorteners with lots of calls | Applies to most of the content used by exposure techniques except "T0055 - Use hashtag”. Applies to analytics |
| C00148 | Add random links to network graphs | If creators are using network analysis to determine how to attack networks, then adding random extra links to those networks might throw that analysis out enough to change attack outcomes. Unsure which DISARM techniques. |
| C00149 | Poison the monitoring & evaluation data | Includes Pollute the AB-testing data feeds: Polluting A/B testing requires knowledge of MOEs and MOPs. A/B testing must be caught early when there is relatively little data available so infiltration of TAs and understanding of how content is migrated from testing to larger audiences is fundamental. |
