My book "Disinformation Attacks on Businesses – The Dark Business of Fake News & Co. and How to Combat It" has just been published by Springer Naturein New York – the world's first monograph on this topic. I've just returned from New York, where I had many in-depth conversations around the launch – both about the book itself and about disinformation attacks on businesses more broadly. An essential read for businesses, especially critical infrastructure (KRITIS) companies, in-house counsel, corporate security, and corporate communications teams.Over 200 pages, completely revised and updated, four new chapters – including "The Role of Lawyers in Disinformation Attacks" and "Communicating in Spaces Where Facts, Data, and Reality No Longer Matter."I spoke with numerous experts lawyers, forensics, and intelligence people from the US, the UK, and Germany, and also with my fellow Crisis & Litigation Communicators Alliance (CLCA) colleagues. and let them speak in their own words. I examine how disinformation works and why it takes hold in people's minds. I expose the attack vectors and the actors bringing companies to their knees with disinformation attacks – and I show the strategies to fight back effectively.
