The Digital Manipulation Behind the TD Bank Backlash

Cyabra identified fake accounts magnifying reputational risk for TD Bank and strategically targeting their official X and Facebook accounts.

Cyabra found that 24% of the online conversation about TD Bank during their recent crisis came from fake accounts, more than double the typical rate. These profiles generated harmful content that reached up to 90,000 views, often posting directly on the bank’s official pages to place negative messaging in front of customers.

The narratives most frequently amplified included allegations of large-scale money laundering, account freezes during the Freedom Convoy protests, and collusion with government overreach.
