Affiliated media: Jurnal TV, Online news website

Incident date: August 13, 2025

Attack type:

Identity theft / phishing / doxxing

Who attacked: Unknown sources

Location: Moldova, Chișinău

Additional information:

Several TikTok accounts of Moldovan news portals, including #diez, have been cloned. Anonymous actors have copied the logos and names of at least four newsrooms, as well as state institutions and political parties, and have been systematically sharing their content. This raises the risk that the cloned accounts could be used to spread fake news and incite panic in the near future.
