Unmasking the Shadows

Cyabra analyzed state-sponsored fake campaign and bot network to understand their impact on public perception.

Over the past two years, Cyabra has conducted a thorough investigation into the activation methods and strategies of fake campaigns originating from three key regions: the Gulf countries, China, and Russia.

Cyabra uncovered fake campaigns that focused on Iran, Moscow, Hamas, and others, with an overall potential reach of 569.9 million views. 

This research aims to analyze the different techniques of state-backed fake campaigns and uncover the agenda behind foreign influence operations, to better understand the global security risk they create.
