Means of Message Propagation[edit]Text messages[edit]In text messages received by many local residents on September 1. Franklin, Morgan City, Patterson and Baldwin, but also to New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Based on sources from the Columbian Chemicals Company and St. Mary Parish officials, multiple local news outlets called the text messages a hoax.[1][3]On Twitter, a screenshot was circulated of the New Orleans Times- Picayune's website, which depicted an article about the explosion; however, the Times- Picayune stated that they had not reported on the explosion and that any attribution of the story to their newspaper was "bogus".[4] Many accounts on Twitter retweeted the screenshot and otherwise discussed the incident using several hashtags, principally #Columbian.

The essay uses analysis by Betaworks data scientist Gilad Lotan to argue that the effort likely originated inside Russia, and failed to achieve virality in part because the fake identities it used had little connection with genuine human identities. Borthwick concludes that a successful hoax would have required its creator to embed the fake identities in real social networks, which he argues would have required considerable time and effort.[2]In June 2.

New York Times Magazine published an extensive article by Adrian Chen, claiming the hoax "was a highly coordinated disinformation campaign" and that the "virtual assault" was the work of the Internet Research Agency, a Russian institution specialized on nationalistic online propaganda, funded either by the Russian Government or a close ally.[8] According to Chen, this was "one in a wave of similar attacks" in 2.
