US – Venezuela: Coordinated Influence Operation Campaigns Uncovered

Cyabra’s report reveals how coordinated fake networks manipulated online narratives before, during, and after the U.S. military operation in Venezuela

Analyzing social media conversations between December 2025 and January 2026, Cyabra identified coordinated inauthentic campaigns surrounding the U.S. operation in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

4,036 inauthentic profiles, representing 23.59% of the total profiles analyzed, generated nearly 5,000 posts and comments, and reached over 641 million potential views.

The campaigns manipulated public perception by first normalizing military intervention and then rapidly reframing the capture as an illegal kidnapping to undermine the operation's legitimacy.
