Description: A Russian disinformation campaign allegedly used a fake news site, "KBSF-San Francisco News," and an AI-generated deepfake video to falsely accuse Kamala Harris of a 2011 hit-and-run accident in San Francisco. The deepfake featured a fabricated African-American victim, whose AI-generated testimony spread widely across social media. Microsoft identified the hoax as part of Russian cyber influence operations targeting the 2024 U.S. election, with the site registered in Iceland.
Editor Notes: The KBSF-San Francisco News site was registered on August 20th, 2024, in Reykjavík, Iceland. The deepfake video and hoax about Kamala Harris emerged on September 2nd, 2024. While it has not been conclusively proven, there are strong indications that KBSF-San Francisco News may be part of the network of fake news sites disseminating pro-Kremlin propaganda and which is potentially linked to John Mark Dougan. See Incident 701 for more information.
