.WORDS disinformation as well as false information are actually commonly used reciprocally. However there is an understated difference in their definition. Disinformation is when false information is actually spread with the intent to scam, often as part of a co-ordinated project. Misinformation is actually when false information is actually by accident spread, for example by redoing a rumour to a friend or even reposting an unverified claim on a social-media system.
