In recent days, a fake news story about the supposed death of Raúl Castro has circulated on social media. The concerning aspect of this hoax is that several profiles on social media have fraudulently used the CiberCuba logo, creating images that seem to be screenshots of authentic news from our outlet, but which are actually an unverified fabrication 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 that are circulating are false and aim to deceive the public, taking advantage of the credibility of our outlet.
This kind of disinformation not only confuses the population but also damages the reputation of those who strive to provide truthful and verified information.
Manipulation of the CiberCuba logo
The fake news started circulating a few days ago, and soon several users on social media began sharing manipulated images that used the CiberCuba logo to lend an air of legitimacy to the false information.
These images, which aim to be screenshots of a news article published on our site, are completely fabricated and have no relation to the content we have disseminated.
In this case, the origin of the rumor comes from a YouTube video where Juan Juan Almeida mentions an alleged poor state of health of Raúl Castro. However, CiberCuba has not confirmed any information regarding this, and any image circulating without official backing should be considered suspicious.
Verification of image authenticity
It is important to emphasize that to verify if an image featuring the CiberCuba logo is real and verifiable, it must include a QR code that leads directly to the news in question on our platform.
If the image does not have this QR code, it is very likely that it is a forgery or manipulation intended to deceive.
How to protect yourself from misinformation
In these times when rumors spread rapidly, it is essential for the public to be cautious and verify the authenticity of the news they consume and share.
We recommend that our readers always turn to reliable sources and avoid being part of the misinformation chain.
If you detect any post or account on social media that is spreading false information using the name or logo of CiberCuba, we appreciate you letting us know so that we can take appropriate measures.
