French authorities have just taken down hundreds of Russian disinformation websites aimed at sowing division and installing far-right candidates in the coming elections. Most of these sites were imitations of popular and trusted news outlets, populated with Ai content.

Just for kicks, I used an online pdf metadata extraction thing (idk what it's worth) and it seems it gives the date of creation as 30th January 2026 (2026-01-30). This suggests that the file has maybe been "made" into this pdf to be shown to the public. So digital forensics not much use here?
