On January 25, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Francis X. Taylor co-authored an article in Just Security titled “The role for DHS in countering the disinformation threat.” In the article, Taylor and Gregory Michaelidis discuss “MisDisMal” (mis-, dis-, and malign information) and recommend how DHS can counter it.
DHS should treat the MisDisMal phenomenon as a growing threat to America’s security.
