In recent days, a false news story about the supposed death of Raúl Castro has circulated on social media. What is concerning about this hoax is that several profiles on social media have fraudulently used the CiberCuba logo, creating images that appear to be screenshots of authentic news from our outlet, but 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 media.
This kind of misinformation not only confuses the population but also harms the reputation of those who work to provide accurate and verified information.
Manipulation of the CiberCuba logo
The fake news began to circulate a few days ago, and soon several users on social media started sharing manipulated images that used the CiberCuba logo to give 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 a supposed poor state of health of Raúl Castro. However, CiberCuba has not confirmed any information regarding this, and any image that circulates without official backing should be considered suspicious.
Verification of image authenticity
It is important to highlight that to verify if an image that carries 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 to be a montage or manipulation intended to deceive.
How to protect yourself from misinformation
In these times when rumors spread quickly, it is essential for the public to be cautious and verify the authenticity of the news they consume and share.
We recommend our readers to always turn to reliable sources and avoid being part of the misinformation chain.
If you detect any publication 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 the necessary measures.
