The research employs various statistical methods, primarily clustering analysis, as well as the analysis of statistical relationships between variables and country comparison analysis. The research indicators are based on OECD data from 2022. The study's results provide useful information for cyber security experts, policymakers, and the general public who are working to combat the spread of disinformation, hybrid threats and hoaxes on the internet.
