Summary/Abstract: The information revolution produced by the accelerated development of communication infrastructure, the emergence of online social networks, the way information sought is distributed on the Internet require a thorough information analysis in cyberspace. The fact that an enormous amount of information is stored in cyberspace and operates both military and civilian personnel are just some of the reasons why cyberspace has become a medium for the deployment of hybrid conflicts. A possible hostile force exploits the vulnerabilities of the human psyche in the context of its membership in a social group. In cyberspace information can be “corruptedˮ intentionally at the time of its dissemination by giving it new valences, but also through cyberattacks. A more elegant form by which information can serve obscure interests is by making it redundant. These current challenges can have solutions from the simplest to the most technical.
