Information laundering

Information laundering is the surfacing of news, false or otherwise, from unverified sources into the mainstream.^[1] In advancing disinformation in such a way that makes it accepted as ostensibly legitimate information, information laundering resembles money laundering—the transforming of illicit funds into ostensibly legitimate funds.^[2]

In adversarial machine learning, information laundering refers to a general strategy that purposely alters the information released to adversaries, with the goal of alleviating model stealing attacks.^[3]
