Misinformation
Misleading or Incorrect
Too often caused by disinformation campaigns, people get misinformed even when they are not the target of the attacker.
Misinformation is false information that is spread by people who are not aware of its inaccuracy. Most times, it is a disinformation campaign - which only benefits the attacker.
We can reduce or diminish disinformation and misinformation by actively fact checking the information we share. -
