What is the difference among "disinformation", "misinformation", and "malinformation?

Let me attempt to summarize the basic characteristics of the three terms:

* Disinformation is false information created and disseminated by an individual or organization with the deliberate intention to cause harm, mislead, or manipulate.

* Misinformation implies false information that is not deliberately spread with the intention to cause harm, but can be the result of error or misunderstanding.

* Malinformation is information which is technically truthful, but deliberately presented maliciously or out-of-context with harmful intentions. This can include both deliberately publicizing private information or deliberately misrepresenting the dates or broader context behind factual content.

I hope these distinctions are helpful.
