AI-powered intelligence solutions enable governments and enterprises to detect, track, and mitigate disinformation, deepfakes, and harmful narratives across digital platforms SAN ANTONIO, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan recently analyzed the social media intelligence (SOCMINT) market and, based on its findings, recognizes Cyabra with the 2025 North American Technology Innovation Leadership Award. With a firm focus on authenticity detection and narrative analysis, Cyabra is redefining how organizations manage online threats—ranging from misinformation and deepfakes to coordinated bot campaigns—by delivering actionable, real-time intelligence across the digital spectrum. As social media continues to evolve, so too do the threats it harbors. Disinformation, inauthentic activity, and AI-generated content are proliferating at a scale that outpaces traditional monitoring methods. Cyabra addresses this challenge with its powerful SOCMINT and open-source intelligence platform, delivering full-spectrum analysis of sentiment, authenticity, and narrative impact. At the heart of Cyabra's innovation is a commitment to authenticity and transparency. The company's platform is uniquely capable of analyzing both authentic and inauthentic digital actors, tracking coordinated campaigns, and revealing the origin and spread of harmful narratives in real time. Whether defending a national agency from state-sponsored disinformation or helping a brand preempt a reputational crisis, Cyabra's tools empower operators to act with precision and speed. Cyabra's cutting-edge features include authenticity investigation, harmful narrative detection, deepfake and GenAI content monitoring, and automated sentiment analysis. These capabilities allow users to detect and analyze disinformation at scale—across platforms and languages—while integrating seamlessly into custom intelligence workflows. As GenAI tools become more accessible and sophisticated, Cyabra continues to evolve its threat detection models to stay ahead of emerging risks. One key differentiator is Cyabra's ability to visualize the structure and spread of influence networks, uncovering how narratives are seeded and amplified across digital spaces. This granular insight equips government, defense, and enterprise customers with the intelligence needed to respond proactively, whether mitigating security threats or preserving public trust. Frost & Sullivan's independent assessment also highlights Cyabra's sustained investment in R&D and its drive to enhance automation and AI-powered alerting. By expanding its platform's ability to detect GenAI content and ensuring scalable monitoring of online ecosystems, Cyabra ensures that operators remain one step ahead of rapidly evolving information threats. "Disinformation is the most urgent threat of our time", said Dan Brahmy, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyabra. "At Cyabra, we saw the need for a new category of intelligence, built to confront this crisis head-on. We're proud to be leading the charge in this critical, emerging sector, and this recognition affirms that our mission is not only essential—but poised to shape the future of digital trust. We remain committed to restoring authenticity across the world's most influential platforms." "Cyabra's advanced platform goes beyond traditional SOCMINT capabilities, empowering clients to understand what is being said and by whom, and whether it is an organized social campaign.

SHANGHAI, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- China's cultural tourism sector is gaining international attention as more travellers seek immersive, heritage-rich experiences. Social media trends and travel data highlight a surge in interest, particularly during the recent Chinese New Year period, reinforcing the country's growing appeal as a cultural travel destination. One initiative contributing to this trend was the Chinese New Year Tour Global KOL China Travel Campaign, launched in mid-January by Tripadvisor and Trip.com Group, a leading global travel service provider. The campaign engaged over 40 international travel influencers, who explored ten cities across four themed routes, including Zhangzhou and Fuzhou in Fujian province, Yancheng in Jiangsu, Changzhi and Yuncheng in Shanxi, Nanchang, Lushan, and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, as well as Changsha and Zhangjiajie in Hunan. Their content—showcasing Chinese New Year festivities, local traditions, and breathtaking landscapes—has already garnered over 80 million online views and nearly one million engagements, reaching a worldwide audience. This is amidst the backdrop of China's expanding visa-free policies, facilitating smoother entry for international visitors. According to immigration authorities, over 64 million foreign visitors had travelled to China in 2024, with over 20 million taking advantage of visa-free entry. The recent inclusion of ASEAN tour groups in February this year for visa-free programs in destinations like Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province is expected to drive further growth. Online travel trends also reflect this rising interest. Trip.com Group data reports a 7.5-fold increase in searches for Chinese lanterns, temple fairs, and theatrical performances during the Chinese New Year period compared to the previous year. This year's Chinese New Year celebrations were particularly significant, being the first since the festival's recognition on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. As awareness of heritage preservation grows, efforts to highlight historic sites and traditional celebrations are expected to further engage travellers interested in cultural tourism. Looking ahead, cultural events such as China Tourism Day on May 19 will continue to shine a spotlight on heritage destinations. "We are confident that such initiatives will inspire international tourists to explore cultural traditions and deepen their appreciation for global heritage," says Benny Wang, Senior Vice President of Trip.com Group.
A new study by MoneySmart finds that over half (52%) of adults living in Hong Kong SAR and Singapore now turn to social media as their primary source of financial advice, with YouTube emerging as the most popular platform. The study explored the growing role of social media in shaping financial decisions, with a focus on how it influences decisions around investing, saving, and spending. Nearly three in five (63%) now seek investment advice from social media, showing the platform's growing role in guiding investment decisions. SINGAPORE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A newly released study by leading personal finance portal MoneySmart reveals that social media has become a dominant source of financial information, influencing key decisions around investments, savings and spending habits. The study, which interviewed 2,000 adults in Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, found that more than half (52%) now rely on social media as their main source of financial advice, trumping the likes of family and friends, financial advisors, and personal finance books. Platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and Facebook emerged as the most popular for accessing financial insights. Nearly half (43%) of those surveyed believe social media has improved their financial knowledge, with 19% using it daily to seek financial tips and advice. According to the study, Millennials are the generation most frequently turning to social media for financial advice, with 53% seeking information at least weekly. The most popular topics across all age groups include investing (59%), saving (57%) and budgeting (34%). Social media is shaping our financial behaviour and investments In today's digital age, financial information is more accessible than ever, with social media empowering individuals to take a more proactive approach to managing their finances. Nearly a quarter (23%) have changed their spending habits due to social media, with 30% starting a budget, 16% initiating an emergency fund and 11% increasing their retirement savings contributions. Interestingly, regional preferences emerged, highlighting unique usage patterns in Singapore and Hong Kong SAR. YouTube stands out as the most popular platform for financial advice in both markets, reflecting the possible appeal for video-based learning. However, platform preferences diverge beyond YouTube, with TikTok gaining popularity in Singapore as a hub for short-form financial content, while Whatsapp and LIHKG forums resonate more with Hong Kongers for community-driven discussions. This diversity in platform usage underscores the importance of adopting tailored strategies to engage and educate consumers effectively across different markets. Beyond habit shifts, social media is also encouraging Singaporean and Hong Kong SAR adults to make substantial financial decisions. Nearly a quarter (24%) have opened a savings account, while 18% have applied for a financial product such as a credit card or loan due to social media advice. Investments, in particular, were heavily influenced by social media, with 37% of respondents making investments based on advice seen online, with popular choices including US stocks (45%), bonds (24%), etc. This illustrates how recommendations on social media are actively shaping financial behaviour and underscores the importance of ensuring that consumers are equipped with the skills needed to assess the credibility of financial advice online. The financial risks of social media While social media provides broader access to financial information, the study reveals significant risks tied to unverified advice. Alarmingly, almost 1 in 5 (18%) respondents lost money on investments influenced by online advice, and a further 14% fell victim to financial scams after following social media recommendations. Among those who followed social media advice, 9% reported substantial financial losses. These findings underscore the serious consequences of following poor or even malicious financial advice on social media, with many suffering direct financial losses that could have a lasting impact on their overall financial security. Adding to these concerns, 70% of respondents encounter financial advice passively through their social media feeds, suggesting that they may be influenced by financial content even when they're not actively seeking it. Additionally, a number (12%) of respondents reported feeling more confused or overwhelmed by the sheer volume of financial information on social media, highlighting the need for better guidance. These findings emphasise the real dangers of unverified advice and the critical importance of seeking reliable financial guidance from trusted sources. Abel Lee, General Manager at MoneySmart Singapore and Hong Kong commented, "Our study reveals a significant shift in how consumers approach financial advice, with social media now taking the lead over traditional sources. While it's encouraging to see more individuals engaging with their finances, it's crucial to ensure the credibility and accuracy of the information they rely on. At MoneySmart, we go beyond just connecting consumers to personal finance products through our marketplace. With resources like our blog and licensed insurance specialists, we are committed to providing well-researched advice and practical guidance to help people make sound financial decisions — whether it's investing, saving, budgeting, choosing the right credit card or loan, or selecting an insurance plan." "While social media has made financial advice more accessible, it also comes with risks from unverified sources. In a landscape where unverified advice is prevalent, our focus is to empower individuals with the tools, trusted guidance, and personalised recommendations they need to make informed decisions that lead to positive outcomes," said Lee. How to spot poor financial advice and make smarter investment decisions As financial hubs, Hong Kong SAR and Singapore face shared challenges and opportunities when navigating financial advice on social media. Insights from industry experts in both markets, including Ethel Yow, APAC & ME Social Media and Content Manager at IG Markets and Joe Yu, Chief Marketing Officer at Futu Securities, provide actionable tips to help consumers make informed decisions while avoiding common pitfalls. Be cautious of bold claimsEthel and Joe advise being wary of financial advice that promises guaranteed returns or "risk-free" investments, often framed as clickbait such as "100% win rate strategy" or "How to become a profitable trader." Sensational headlines are designed to attract attention, but credible sources will offer balanced insights about both potential returns and risks. Verify the informationSocial media is largely unregulated, meaning anyone can post financial content regardless of expertise. Ethel recommends cross-checking advice with reputable financial news outlets, official company reports, and licensed financial advisers, while Joe suggests a three-pronged approach: verify the source, consult multiple sources and assess the information's timeliness. Seeking professional advice and carefully evaluating risks are essential steps before making significant financial decisions. Understand the risksSocial media offers real-time market sentiment and a variety of investment ideas, which can broaden perspectives. However, Joe warns that emotional triggers like FOMO (fear of missing out) can lead to impulsive decisions that often do not align with sound financial planning. Balance short-term excitement with long-term goalsTo avoid focusing solely on short-term returns, limit speculative investments to a small portion of your portfolio while balancing them with more stable assets like index funds or bonds. Both experts recommend setting clear financial goals, creating a budget, diversifying investments and regularly reviewing your portfolio to maintain long-term financial stability. Do your own research and use trusted platformsIndependent research is critical to understanding the risks, potential returns, and suitability of an investment. Joe emphasises the importance of choosing regulated brokerages, such as those licensed by the SFC in Hong Kong, for secure and transparent transactions. Trusted platforms offer reliable tools and resources that support informed investment decisions. Stay alert to scams and avoid herd mentalityBoth Ethel and Joe highlight the risks of scams impersonating legitimate entities, such as investment platforms or financial influencers. Always verify the authenticity of information and social media links before acting. Avoid blindly following trends without assessing risks, as impulsive decisions can lead to significant losses.

SYDNEY, Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Australia's social media ban for under 16's is a revolutionary step in internet regulation, and highlights an opportunity for the online casino industry to prioritise safe and enjoyable user experiences. According to experts at CasinoAus, by addressing the shared neurological impacts of social media and betting, the casino industry can improve protection of vulnerable audiences by using proactive data-driven measures in player protection. Instant Gratification is Turning Us into Dopamine Addicts Research consistently shows that social media, betting, and online gaming activate the brain's reward system, releasing dopamine and fostering potentially addictive behaviours. Australia's social media restrictions highlight growing public health concerns regarding how platforms influence user behaviour. The Effectiveness of "Gamble Responsibly" Under Scrutiny A 2019 poll in Australia revealed that 70% of respondents believed the phrase "gamble responsibly" did little to combat problem gambling, while only 3% found it effective. Similarly, social media's reliance on self-regulation has faced criticism for being reactive rather than preventative and how slogan-based campaigns don't have enough impact. Younger Demographics at Risk: A Growing Concern According to research by Growing Up in Australia, nearly 10% of Australian teenagers report betting, despite it being illegal for minors and the casino industry taking steps in limiting their exposure to advertising. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the effects of betting due to their undeveloped risk assessment abilities. Research links adolescent gambling to issues like depression, poor academics, and unemployment, with Australian data highlighting alarming trends. 5% of 16–17 year-olds reported betting on racing or sports the past year. 6% of boys and 3% of girls had bet on sports. 4% of boys and 3% of girls had bet on horse or dog races. The online casino industry has the opportunity to address these concerns by adopting measures to create a safe environment that deters early exposure and addictive behaviours. What the Casino Industry Can Learn Industry experts at CasinoAus, think that it is a fantastic opportunity for the casino sector to position itself as a leader in responsible innovation. Key actions include: Proactive Regulation: Voluntarily adopting higher advertising standards and safeguards for vulnerable audiences. Technological Solutions: Using tools like AI to identify risky behaviours and provide support tailored to individual needs. Collaboration for Impact: Partnering with public health organisations and regulators to implement evidence-based solutions.
