Comparing Notes Between Finland and Taiwan: Disinformation and Hybrid Threats

These topics will be explored on 21 May 2026 in a seminar organized together by the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Turku and TurkuSec.

📅 Thursday, 21 May 2026
🕐 13:00–16:00
📍 Publicum (Pub 1), University of Turku

This seminar brings together experts in diplomacy, hybrid threats, and cybersecurity research to discuss contemporary challenges related to disinformation, societal resilience, and cyber and hybrid threats. Drawing on perspectives from Taiwan and Finland, the seminar addresses practical and analytical approaches to countering disinformation, understanding hybrid threat activity, and examining the role of emerging technologies such as AI in shaping information environments.

Speakers include Taiwan’s Representative to Finland, Freddy Lim, as well as experts from the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (Hybrid CoE), the Finnish Defence Forces, and the University of Turku. Also speaking will be TurkuSec’s very own Ismayil Hasanov! 💪

Welcome to join us. See you in Turku!

The event is open to everyone, but unfortunately remote participation will not be available.

Europe ramps up the security of satellites.

Space systems are increasingly targeted with cyberattacks, as the global hybrid warfare rages.

In the desolate Arctic desert of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, Europeans are building defences against a new, up-and-coming security threat: space hacks.

NATO has completed Cyber Coalition, its largest cyber defense exercise to date, with 1,300 participants simulating hybrid incidents across power infrastructure, fuel systems, satellite networks, and military communications.

Training emphasized cross-border information sharing, legal coordination, and multi-domain situational awareness - including a new space-focused scenario.

What technical or governance elements do you think matter most for multinational cyber readiness?

Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference #FIMI is central to the EU’s approach to #disinformation. But what kind of concept is it? And why is it useful for EU policy but less so for scientific research?

Unlike traditional disinfo frameworks, FIMI focuses on manipulative behavior rather than just falsehoods. This makes it an effective policy tool—but creates challenges for researchers.

9/10 🚨 Disinformation is a versatile, evolving threat.

It’s not just about individual fake news stories—it’s about long-term, adaptive attacks on democratic systems.

🎯 Key takeaway from the paper:
🛡️ Defenses must be just as adaptable as the threats they counter.
🔄 Cross-institutional cooperation is vital.
📊 We need sector-specific AND integrated threat analyses.

#DemocracyUnderAttack #InfluenceOperations #HybridThreats

1/10 Disinformation is a persistent threat to democracies, but its impact differs across Cognitive Warfare, Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (FIMI), and Hybrid Threats.

Rather than competing, these concepts complement each other—each targeting distinct vulnerabilities. Understanding their differences is key to designing better counterstrategies.

Seems like a nice community here (and man, I like that I have more than 280 signs to blab on and on about stuff), so I'm gonna put out a question:

While I'm still struggling with adjusting the language in my mastodon app, I have done some looking around and haven't found many people who talk about #disinformation. Now, I'm aware that this might absolutely be due to my still-finding-the-lay-of-the-land status here, but perhaps someone has some suggestions?

Anyone who works on / is interested in the following? And this post also very elegantly lets me make my point that we live in a definition spahgetti bowl :skp345:

#propaganda #misinformation #disinformation #infowars #infowar #influenceoperations #interference #hybridthreats #informationdisorder #informationintegrity #informationmanipulation #cib #computationalpropaganda #informationchaos #malinformation

Oh, I also like "problematic information" - it's so precise, no? Tells you EXACTLY what you mean, no?

And for good order, I also mention #fakenews even though I can talk a long time about why we shouldn't use it.

If I missed any terms, don't be shy and add them with a brief explanation of why it's necessary to use that term instead of any of the other ones (yes, I'm looking for fellow nerds :dy54:)
