Summary/Abstract: The evolution of the international security environment and information technology has given a special impetus to the development of interpersonal and inter-community communication, especially through new media. Hybrid warfare is the most eloquent example of adapting the phenomenon of war to the evolution of human society and information technology. Disinformation has a very important role in the development and establishment of the outcome of the hybrid confrontation, which is used in all kinds of inter-community confrontation. Mass media, especially the online social platforms, are the most used and effective vehicles for carrying out and spreading disinformation.
