Our experts have recently contributed to international media discourse on disinformation, featured in @euronews.

The interview presents an analysis by @FactCheckCyprus of a viral leaked video that has generated significant public attention in Cyprus.

While the technical review did not reveal evidence of deepfake manipulation, the dissemination patterns and the digital provenance of the publishing account raise critical concerns.

The investigation further identified indications of coordinated activity, including the potential deployment of artificial intelligence to construct an online persona and the strategic use of authentic audiovisual material in a manner that could influence public opinion.

This case underscores the increasing sophistication of contemporary disinformation campaigns and highlights the essential role of collaborative, cross-border fact-checking initiatives in preserving the integrity of public information.
