Two new reports have been presented as part of the EU Horizon project ADAC.io, coordinated by the Psychological Defence Research Institute. They aim to support the defender community in strengthening capabilities and methodologies related to the ongoing work of attributing information influence operations.

The first report, "A Framework for Attribution of Information Influence Operations", presents an updated version of the NATO Stratcom CoE and Hybrid CoE IIO Attribution Framework, incorporating new insights and examples that illustrate how it has been and can be applied in practice.

The second report, "Attribution and Information Influence Operations: A 'Field Guide' for Open-Source Investigators and Researchers", addresses key challenges and presents generalisable principal issues that need to be considered when making decisions that impact upon attribution investigations and research using open-source data.
