risk protection provider SafeGuard Cyber told ZDNet today.<\/p>\n<p>Kamide said his company observed a 286 percent increase in Russian bot and troll activity on Twitter following the public release of the long-awaited Mueller Report.<\/p>\n<h3>Dormant bots came to life<\/h3>\n<p>The company also noted that the number of unique bots and trolls also increased by 48 percent from the previous day.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests that botnet herders had created thousands of Twitter bot accounts in advance &#8211;which they left dormant&#8211; and activated for the release of the Mueller Report, during which they apparently wanted to shape public perception as part of a disinformation campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller Report-related hashtag use from these Russian-linked bots also spiked accordingly, suggesting that they were, indeed, participating in an active opinion-shaping operation, regardless of the opinion they were broadcasting.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kamide, Twitter bot and troll hashtag use increased 852 percent overall, with a 5,000 percent increase in usage for the #mueller hashtag, by far the most popular.<\/p>\n<p>The top five hashtags used were: #mueller, #muellerreport, #trump, #barr, and #russia.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"

growing every day.<\/p>\n<p>The SafeGuard Cyber director said his company uses 52 risk signatures to classify bad actors into four behavior modes: malicious, suspicious, disinformation, and bot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through proprietary algorithms, manual analysis, and correlation against 155 fact-checking organizations, the company&#8217;s researchers are able to attribute bot and troll operators to Russia,&#8221; Kamide told ZDNet. &#8220;Using this intelligence, SafeGuard Cyber is able to attribute with a degree of certainty the country of origin of this specific activity. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The presence of Russian bots on Twitter is indisputable at this point. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2018\/10\/19\/17990946\/twitter-russian-trolls-bots-election-tampering\"
