As a Reservist I am privileged to enjoy two careers: the
USAR and the Commercial Sector. While in the Commercial Sector I’ve taken many
paths, one of my mainstays has been information security (see. www.talglobal.com).
I’ve made many posts about cyber influence. I’d argue that
we in the PSYOP Community need to be as conversant with Social Media as we are
with our personal weapon.
Over the years I’ve found a number of good, reliable
technical sources. One of them can be found at: http://blog.strom.com/wp/?p=4775.
The author has been a long time journalist in the IT world. The March 27, 2014
Blog posting found at the end of the link is titled: “Faking internet comments
and reviews”. Clearly is this a very relevant topic for the PSYOP community.
The Blogger’s piece is on product reviews and other similar
topics. He talks about how organizations use fake reviews to inflate their own
reputation or deflate their competition. As a reviewer for Trip Advisor, I’m
compelled to sign a statement indicating that the review is my own personal
experience. Of course in the PSYOP world that’s not the case.
