Abstract
The swift spread of fake news and disinformation campaigns poses a
significant threat to public trust, political stability, and cybersecurity.
Traditional Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) approaches, which rely on low-level
indicators such as domain names and social media handles, are easily evaded by
adversaries who frequently modify their online infrastructure. To address these
limitations, we introduce a novel CTI framework that focuses on high-level,
semantic indicators derived from recurrent narratives and relationships of
disinformation campaigns. Our approach extracts structured CTI indicators from
unstructured disinformation content, capturing key entities and their
contextual dependencies within fake news using Large Language Models (LLMs). We
further introduce FakeCTI, the first dataset that systematically links fake
news to disinformation campaigns and threat actors. To evaluate the
effectiveness of our CTI framework, we analyze multiple fake news attribution
techniques, spanning from traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) to
fine-tuned LLMs. This work shifts the focus from low-level artifacts to
persistent conceptual structures, establishing a scalable and adaptive approach
to tracking and countering disinformation campaigns.
