Storm-1516 is prolific.
Among others, @viginum.bsky.social 's report mentioned Storm-1516's disinformation attacks targeting the French, German, and American electoral processes.
Not a definitive answer from @viginum.bsky.social, but there are many links between Storm-1516 and some well-known Russian disinformation actors.
Similarly to many Russian information operations, content produced by Storm-1516 is not always successful. However, some disinformation spread by Storm-1516 was viewed by many people online thanks to the opportunistic amplification by influential figures.
