Graphika Finds China-Linked Spamouflage Accounts Posing as US Voters on X

Analysts at Graphika have found China-linked accounts on X that pose as U.S. voters, according to a report carried by ABC News. The accounts are connected to an influence campaign known as Spamouflage.

According to the summary of that report, the Spamouflage campaign is "active ahead of the midterm elections." The summary does not say how far the activity extends or when it began.

The headline describes the accounts as posing as U.S. voters on X, the social media platform. Neither the headline nor the summary explains what the accounts posted, how many accounts there are, or how many people they reached.

Graphika is named as the source of the findings in both the headline and the summary. The material used for this story contains no comment from Graphika, X, or any government body.

The summary does not state whether the accounts are tied to any particular candidate, party, or issue, and it does not say whether X has removed them.

ABC News carried the item as a wire story. The source listing does not name a byline, and the full text of the item was not part of the material used for this story, so the reporting here is limited to the headline and summary.
