Volume 24, Issue 1 Editorial
Winter 2025
Truth is the first casualty in war…and often in peace. As the Journal of Information Warfare (JIW) embarks on its 24th year, we live in very interesting times as domestic politics, international conflict, and the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) make it harder than ever before to determine exactly what is the truth. This is where a proven double-blind, peer-reviewed (DBPR) publication, such as the JIW, can prove its value with our deeply researched papers from academics across the globe. Shown below is the latest tranche of outstanding research that we bring to you across a diverse range of topics:
- ‘A Proposed Bitcoin Blockchain Investigation Methodology: Based on a Case Study Approach’
- 'Everything is Awesome! Chinese Propaganda Framing about China’
- ‘Chinese Influence at United States and Australian Universities and Countermeasure Effectiveness’
- ‘Enhancing Cybersecurity Measures against URL Phishing in E-Banking: A Machine Learning Approach’
- ‘New Jersey Voter ID Numbers Reconfigured with Shift Cipher’
- ‘Analyzing Disk-Minimal Malware in Phishing attacks: A Forensic Methodology for Modern Cyber Threats’
- Cyber Mobilisation 2.09: Capitalisation and Instigation of Hacktivists and Vigilantes in Future Conflicts’
- ‘Artificial Intelligence Accelerated Cyber Operations: A Systematic Literature Review’
Also enclosed in this volume is a book review by our Deputy Editor, Bill Hutchinson, on Steve Tatum’s latest offering entitled Information Operations Facts Lies Conspiracists, published last year. It continues a long tradition since 2008 where Tatum has been writing about Information Warfare (IW) topics with a mastery of the topic.
