Cyabra CEO Dan Brahmy on CNN

Cyabra CEO Dan Brahmy joins Jake Tapper on CNN’s The Lead to break down our latest data report revealing widespread, inauthentic bot activity amplifying rapper Nicki Minaj’s political social media posts. In this exclusive breakdown, Cyabra analyzed over 55,000 profiles interacting with Nicki Minaj’s posts. The data revealed that 33% of the engagement—comprising more than 18,000 fake accounts—was part of a sustained, coordinated effort to amplify specific political and cultural narratives. Key Takeaways from the Interview:

• The Power of Fake Amplification: How thousands of bot accounts create a “spillover effect,” exposing genuine, authentic users to orchestrated narratives.
• Sustained vs. Spiked Activity: Why this wasn’t just a short-lived spike tied to a single event, but a coordinated, long-term campaign.
• Real-World Consequences: A look at how similar bot-driven tactics and out-of-context mischaracterizations were recently used against Governor Gavin Newsom.
• Information Warfare in Everyday Life: Dan explains why these manipulation techniques are no longer just geopolitical—they touch every single industry today.
