A 'Spy Thriller' Unfolds: Analyzing a Controversial Video and Influence Campaign

The Patriarch analyzes a video that circulated on X, allegedly recording conversations implying the President's involvement in a corruption network. He points out that the origin and management of the video's dissemination suggest an organized influence campaign, regardless of the content's truthfulness. He refers to the use of techniques such as 'bait' and homoglyphs to enhance dissemination and avoid detection by Social Media algorithms. The author emphasizes that choosing a small X account for the initial publication of the video indicates a deliberate attempt to boost its reproduction by conventional media. The government characterizes the whole affair as a hybrid attack.
