A Russian online activist group claims to be secretly capturing images of Finnish homes, leading to concerns about hybrid influence operations.
A Russian online activist group, named Morningstar, has asserted that it is spying on Finnish homes using images alleged to be taken from citizens' security cameras. The group has been sharing these images on its Telegram channel, claiming that they originate from various countries, and experts have identified the material as genuine. This situation raises significant concern as it is categorized as a form of hybrid influence, a strategy aimed at undermining trust in digital infrastructures and safety.
