In recent days, a false news story about the alleged death of Raúl Castro has been circulating on social media. The concerning aspect of this hoax is that several profiles have fraudulently used the CiberCuba logo, creating images that appear to be authentic news screenshots from our outlet but are actually fabrications not confirmed by any official source.
CiberCuba wants to make it clear that it has not published any news confirming the death of Raúl Castro. The images circulating are fake and aim to deceive the public by exploiting the credibility of our platform.
Manipulation of CiberCuba's Logo
The fake news began circulating a few days ago, and soon several users on social media started sharing manipulated images using the CiberCuba logo to give an air of legitimacy to the false information. These images, which pretend to be screenshots of a news story published on our site, are completely fabricated and have no relation to the content we have disseminated.
In this instance, the rumor's origin stems from a YouTube video where Juan Juan Almeida mentions a supposed deteriorating health condition of Raúl Castro. However, CiberCuba has not confirmed any such information, and any image circulating without official backing should be considered suspicious.
Verifying Image Authenticity
It is important to highlight that to verify if an image bearing the CiberCuba logo is real and verifiable, it should include a QR code that directs directly to the news story on our platform. If the image lacks this QR code, it is highly likely to be a montage or manipulation intended to deceive.
How to Protect Yourself from Misinformation
In these times when hoaxes spread rapidly, it is essential for the public to be cautious and verify the authenticity of the news they consume and share. We recommend our readers always turn to reliable sources and avoid being part of the misinformation chain.
If you detect any post or social media account spreading false information using the name or logo of CiberCuba, we appreciate you letting us know so we can take appropriate measures.
