Malinformation

Malinformation is truth used to inflict harm on a person, organisation or country.[1][2] Examples of malinformation include phishing, catfishing, doxing, swatting and revenge porn.[1] Malinformation is also used to refer to "information that stems from the truth but is often exaggerated in a way that misleads and causes potential harm."[3] Malinformation usually entails a change of context, such as time, space, or privacy.[4] The term was coined by media researcher Hossein Derakhshan in a Council of Europe co-authored report titled "Information Disorder" and later adopted by UNESCO.[4][5][6]
