Navigating the Path to CyberPeace: Insights and Strategies

Executive Summary:
‍
A social media video claims that India's Udhampur Air Force Station was destroyed by Pakistan's JF-17 fighter jets. According to official sources, the Udhampur base is still fully operational, and our research proves that the video was produced by artificial intelligence. The growing problem of AI-driven disinformation in the digital age is highlighted by this incident.

Claim:
‍
A viral video alleges that Pakistan's JF-17 fighter jets successfully destroyed the Udhampur Air Force Base in India. The footage shows aircraft engulfed in flames, accompanied by narration claiming the base's destruction during recent cross-border hostilities.

‍

Fact Check :
‍
The Udhampur Air Force Station was destroyed by Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets, according to a recent viral video that has been shown to be completely untrue. The audio and visuals in the video have been conclusively identified as AI-generated based on a thorough analysis using AI detection tools such as Hive Moderation. The footage was found to contain synthetic elements by Hive Moderation, confirming that the images were altered to deceive viewers. Further undermining the untrue claims in the video is the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of India, which has clearly declared that the Udhampur Airbase is still fully operational and has not been the scene of any such attack.

Our analysis of recent disinformation campaigns highlights the growing concern that AI-generated content is being weaponized to spread misinformation and incite panic, which is highlighted by the purposeful misattribution of the video to a military attack.


Conclusion:
‍
It is untrue that the Udhampur Air Force Station was destroyed by Pakistan's JF-17 fighter jets. This claim is supported by an AI-generated video that presents irrelevant footage incorrectly. The Udhampur base is still intact and fully functional, according to official sources. This incident emphasizes how crucial it is to confirm information from reliable sources, particularly during periods of elevated geopolitical tension.

Executive Summary:

Our research has determined that a widely circulated social media image purportedly showing astronaut Sunita Williams with U.S. President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk following her return from space is AI-generated. There is no verifiable evidence to suggest that such a meeting took place or was officially announced. The image exhibits clear indicators of AI generation, including inconsistencies in facial features and unnatural detailing.

‍

Claim: 

‍

It was claimed on social media that after returning to Earth from space, astronaut Sunita Williams met with U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as shown in a circulated picture.

‍

Fact Check:

‍

Following a comprehensive analysis using Hive Moderation, the image has been verified as fake and AI-generated. Distinct signs of AI manipulation include unnatural skin texture, inconsistent lighting, and distorted facial features. Furthermore, no credible news sources or official reports substantiate or confirm such a meeting. The image is likely a digitally altered post designed to mislead viewers.

‍

While reviewing the accounts that shared the image, we found that former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary had also posted the same image and a video of a space capsule returning, congratulating Sunita Williams on her homecoming. Notably, the image featured a Grok watermark in the bottom right corner, confirming that it was AI-generated.

‍

Additionally, we discovered a post from Grok on X (formerly known as Twitter) featuring the watermark, stating that the image was likely AI-generated.

Conclusion:

As per our research on the viral image of Sunita Williams with Donald Trump and Elon Musk is AI-generated. Indicators such as unnatural facial features, lighting inconsistencies, and a Grok watermark suggest digital manipulation. No credible sources validate the meeting, and a post from Grok on X further supports this finding. This case underscores the need for careful verification before sharing online content to prevent the spread of misinformation.

Executive Summary:

A viral video that has gone viral is purportedly of mass cheating during the UPSC Civil Services Exam conducted in Uttar Pradesh. This video claims to show students being filmed cheating by copying answers. But, when we  did a thorough research, it was noted that the incident happened during an LLB exam, not the UPSC Civil Services Exam. This is a representation of misleading content being shared to promote misinformation.

Claim: 

‍

Mass cheating took place during the UPSC Civil Services Exam in Uttar Pradesh, as shown in a viral video.

‍

‍

Fact Check:

Upon careful verification, it has been established that the viral video being circulated does not depict the UPSC Civil Services Examination, but rather an incident of mass cheating during an LLB examination. Reputable media outlets, including Zee News and India Today, have confirmed that the footage is from a law exam and is unrelated to the UPSC.

The video in question was reportedly live-streamed by one of the LLB students, held in February 2024  at City Law College in Lakshbar Bajha, located in the Safdarganj area of Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh.

The misleading attempt to associate this footage with the highly esteemed Civil Services Examination is not only factually incorrect but also unfairly casts doubt on a process that is known for its rigorous supervision and strict security protocols. It is crucial to verify the authenticity and context of such content before disseminating it, in order to uphold the integrity of our institutions and prevent unnecessary public concern.

‍

‍

Conclusion:

‍

The viral video purportedly showing mass cheating during the UPSC Civil Services Examination in Uttar Pradesh is misleading and not genuine. Upon verification, the footage has been found to be from an LLB examination, not related to the UPSC in any manner. Spreading such misinformation not only undermines the credibility of a trusted examination system but also creates unwarranted panic among aspirants and the public. It is imperative to verify the authenticity of such claims before sharing them on social media platforms. Responsible dissemination of information is crucial to maintaining trust and integrity in public institutions.

Executive Summary:

A viral post currently circulating on various social media platforms claims that Reliance Jio is offering a ₹700 Holi gift to its users, accompanied by a link for individuals to claim the offer. This post has gained significant traction, with many users engaging in it in good faith, believing it to be a legitimate promotional offer. However, after careful investigation, it has been confirmed that this post is, in fact, a phishing scam designed to steal personal and financial information from unsuspecting users. This report seeks to examine the facts surrounding the viral claim, confirm its fraudulent nature, and provide recommendations to minimize the risk of falling victim to such scams.

‍

Claim: 

‍

Reliance Jio is offering a ₹700 reward as part of a Holi promotional campaign, accessible through a shared link.

‍

‍

Fact Check:

Upon review, it has been verified that this claim is misleading. Reliance Jio has not provided any promo deal for Holi at this time. The  Link being forwarded is considered a phishing scam to steal personal and financial user details. There are no reports of this promo offer on Jio’s official website or verified social media accounts. The URL included in the message does not end in the official Jio domain, indicating a fake website. The website requests for the personal information of individuals so that it could be used for unethical cyber crime activities. Additionally, we checked the link with the ScamAdviser website, which flagged it as suspicious and unsafe.

‍

‍

Conclusion:

‍

The viral post claiming that Reliance Jio is offering a ₹700 Holi gift is a phishing scam. There is no legitimate offer from Jio, and the link provided leads to a fraudulent website designed to steal personal and financial information. Users are advised not to click on the link and to report any suspicious content. Always verify promotions through official channels to protect personal data from cybercriminal activities.

Executive Summary:

A viral claim circulating on social media suggests that the Indian government is offering a 50% subsidy on tractor purchases under the so-called "Kisan Tractor Yojana." However, our research reveals that the website promoting this scheme, allegedly under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, is misleading. This report aims to inform readers about the deceptive nature of this claim and emphasize the importance of safeguarding personal information against fraudulent schemes.

‍

‍

Claim:

A website has been circulating misleading information, claiming that the Indian government is offering a 50% subsidy on tractor purchases under the so-called "Kisan Tractor Yojana." Additionally, a YouTube video promoting this scheme suggests that individuals can apply by submitting certain documents and paying a small, supposedly refundable application fee. 

‍

‍

Fact Check: 

‍

Our research has confirmed that there is no scheme by the Government of India named 'PM Kisan Tractor Yojana.' The circulating announcement is false and appears to be an attempt to defraud farmers through fraudulent means.

While the government does provide various agricultural subsidies under recognized schemes such as the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), no such initiative under the name 'PM Kisan Tractor Yojana' exists. This misleading claim is, therefore, a phishing attempt aimed at deceiving farmers and unlawfully collecting their personal or financial information.

Farmers and stakeholders are advised to rely only on official government sources for scheme-related information and to exercise caution against such deceptive practices.

To assess the authenticity of the “PM Kisan Tractor Yojana” claim, we reviewed the websites farmertractoryojana.in and tractoryojana.in. Our analysis revealed several inconsistencies, indicating that these websites are fraudulent.

As part of our verification process, we evaluated tractoryojana.in using Scam Detector to determine its trustworthiness. The results showed a low trust score, raising concerns about its legitimacy. Similarly, we conducted the same check for farmertractoryojana.in, which also appeared untrustworthy and risky. The detailed results of these assessments are attached below.

Given that these websites falsely present themselves as government-backed initiatives, our findings strongly suggest that they are part of a fraudulent scheme designed to mislead and exploit individuals seeking genuine agricultural subsidies.

‍

‍

During our research, we examined the "How it Works" section of the website, which outlines the application process for the alleged “PM Kisan Tractor Yojana.” Notably, applicants are required to pay a refundable application fee to proceed with their registration. It is important to emphasize that no legitimate government subsidy program requires applicants to pay a refundable application fee.

‍

‍

Our research found that the address listed on the website, “69A, Hanuman Road, Vile Parle East, Mumbai 400057,” is not associated with any government office or agricultural subsidy program. This further confirms the website’s fraudulent nature. Farmers should verify subsidy programs through official government sources to avoid scams.

‍

‍

A key inconsistency is the absence of a verified social media presence. Most legitimate government programs maintain official social media accounts for updates and communication. However, these websites fail to provide any such official handles, further casting doubt on their authenticity.

‍

‍

Upon attempting to log in, both websites redirect to the same page, suggesting they may be operated by the same entity or individual. This further raises concerns about their legitimacy and reinforces the likelihood of fraudulent activity.

‍

‍

Conclusion:

Our research confirms that the "PM Kisan Tractor Yojana" claim is fraudulent. No such government scheme exists, and the websites promoting it exhibit multiple red flags, including low trust scores, a misleading application process requiring a refundable fee, a false address, and the absence of an official social media presence. Additionally, both websites redirect to the same page, suggesting they are operated by the same entity. Farmers are advised to rely on official government sources to avoid falling victim to such scams.

Executive Summary:

A video gone viral on Facebook claims Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman endorsed the government’s new investment project.  The video has been widely shared. However, our research indicates that the video has been AI altered and is being used to spread misinformation.

‍

Claim: 

‍

The claim in this video suggests that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is endorsing an automotive system that promises daily earnings of ₹15,00,000 with an initial investment of ₹21,000.

‍

Fact Check:

‍

To check the genuineness of the claim, we used the keyword search for “Nirmala Sitharaman investment program” but we haven’t found any investment related scheme. We observed that the lip movements appeared unnatural and did not align perfectly with the speech, leading us to suspect that the video may have been AI-manipulated.

When we reverse searched the video which led us to this DD News live-stream of Sitharaman’s press conference after presenting the Union Budget on February 1, 2025. Sitharaman never mentioned any investment or trading platform during the press conference, showing that the viral video was digitally altered. Technical analysis using Hive moderator further found that the viral clip is Manipulated by voice cloning.

‍

Conclusion:

The viral video on social media shows Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman endorsing the government’s new investment project as completely voice cloned, manipulated and false. This highlights the risk of online manipulation, making it crucial to verify news with credible sources before sharing it. With the growing risk of AI-generated misinformation, promoting media literacy is essential in the fight against false information.

Executive Summary:

A misleading video claiming to show fireworks at Dubai International Cricket Stadium following India’s 2025 ICC Champions Trophy win has gone viral, causing confusion among viewers. Our investigation confirms that the video is unrelated to the cricket tournament. It actually depicts the fireworks display from the December 2024 Arabian Gulf Cup opening ceremony at Kuwait’s Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium. This incident underscores the rapid spread of outdated or misattributed content, particularly in relation to significant sports events, and highlights the need for vigilance in verifying such claims.

‍

‍

Claim: 

The circulated video claims fireworks and a drone display at Dubai International Cricket Stadium after India's win in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

‍

Fact Check:

A reverse image search of the most prominent keyframes in the viral video led it back to the opening ceremony of the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup, which was hosted by Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait on December 21, 2024. The fireworks seen in the video correspond to the imagery in this event. A second look at the architecture of the stadium also affirms that the venue is not Dubai International Cricket Stadium, as asserted. Additional confirmation from official sources and media outlets verifies that there was no such fireworks celebration in Dubai after India's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 win. The video has therefore been misattributed and shared with incorrect context.

‍

Fig: Claimed Stadium Picture

‍

‍

Conclusion:

A viral video claiming to show fireworks at Dubai International Cricket Stadium after India's 2025 ICC Champions Trophy win is misleading. Our research confirms the video is from the December 2024 Arabian Gulf Cup opening ceremony at Kuwait’s Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium. A reverse image search and architectural analysis of the stadium debunk the claim, with official sources verifying no such celebration took place in Dubai. The video has been misattributed and shared out of context.

Executive Summary:

‍

We have identified a post addressing a scam email that falsely claims to offer a download link for an e-PAN Card. This deceptive email is designed to mislead recipients into disclosing sensitive financial information by impersonating official communication from Income Tax Department authorities. Our report aims to raise awareness about this fraudulent scheme and emphasize the importance of safeguarding personal data against such cyber threats.

‍

Claim:

Scammers are sending fake emails, asking people to download their e-PAN cards. These emails pretend to be from government authorities like the Income Tax Department and contain harmful links that can steal personal information or infect devices with malware.

Fact Check: 

Through our research, we have found that scammers are sending fake emails, posing as the Income Tax Department, to trick users into downloading e-PAN cards from unofficial links. These emails contain malicious links that can lead to phishing attacks or malware infections. Genuine e-PAN services are only available through official platforms such as the Income Tax Department's website (www.incometaxindia.gov.in) and the NSDL/UTIITSL portals. Despite repeated warnings, many individuals still fall victim to such scams. To combat this, the Income Tax Department has a dedicated page for reporting phishing attempts: Report Phishing - Income Tax India. It is crucial for users to stay cautious, verify email authenticity, and avoid clicking on suspicious links to protect their personal information.

‍

‍

Conclusion:   

‍

The emails currently in circulation claiming to provide e-PAN card downloads are fraudulent and should not be trusted. These deceptive messages often impersonate government authorities and contain malicious links that can result in identity theft or financial fraud. Clicking on such links may compromise sensitive personal information, putting individuals at serious risk. To ensure security, users are strongly advised to verify any such communication directly through official government websites and avoid engaging with unverified sources. Additionally, any phishing attempts should be reported to the Income Tax Department and also to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal to help prevent the spread of such scams. Staying vigilant and exercising caution when handling unsolicited emails is crucial in safeguarding personal and financial data.

Executive Summary:

‍

A viral video circulating on social media that appears to be deliberately misleading and manipulative is shown to have been done by comedian Samay Raina casually making a lighthearted joke about actress Rekha in the presence of host Amitabh Bachchan which left him visibly unsettled while shooting for an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Influencer Special. The joke pointed to the gossip and rumors of unspoken tensions between the two Bollywood Legends. Our research has ruled out that the video is artificially manipulated and reflects a non genuine content. However, the specific joke in the video does not appear in the original KBC episode. This incident highlights the growing misuse of AI technology in creating and spreading misinformation, emphasizing the need for increased public vigilance and awareness in verifying online information.

‍

‍

Claim:

‍

The claim in the video suggests that during a recent "Influencer Special" episode of KBC, Samay Raina humorously asked Amitabh Bachchan, "What do you and a circle have in common?" and then delivered the punchline, "Neither of you and circle have Rekha (line)," playing on the Hindi word "rekha," which means 'line'.ervicing routes between Amritsar, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Jaipur. This assertion is accompanied by images of a futuristic aircraft, implying that such technology is currently being used to transport commercial passengers.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Fact Check:

‍

To check the genuineness of the claim, the whole Influencer Special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) which can also be found on the Sony Set India YouTube channel was carefully reviewed. Our analysis proved that no part of the episode had comedian Samay Raina cracking a joke on actress Rekha. The technical analysis using Hive moderator further found that the viral clip is AI-made.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Conclusion:

‍

A viral video on the Internet that shows Samay Raina making a joke about Rekha during KBC was released and completely AI-generated and false. This poses a serious threat to manipulation online and that makes it all the more important to place a fact-check for any news from credible sources before putting it out. Promoting media literacy is going to be key to combating misinformation at this time, with the danger of misuse of AI-generated content.

Executive Summary:

‍

Recently, our team came across a widely circulated post on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the Indian government would abolish paper currency from February 1 and transition entirely to digital money. The post, designed to resemble an official government notice, cited the absence of advertisements in Kerala newspapers as supposed evidence—an assertion that lacked any substantive basis

‍

‍

Claim:

‍

The Indian government will ban paper currency from February 1, 2025, and adopt digital money as the sole legal tender to fight black money.

‍

‍

‍

Fact Check:

‍

The claim that the Indian government will ban paper currency and transition entirely to digital money from February 1 is completely baseless and lacks any credible foundation. Neither the government nor the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made any official announcement supporting this assertion.

Furthermore, the supposed evidence—the absence of specific advertisements in Kerala newspapers—has been misinterpreted and holds no connection to any policy decisions regarding currency

During our research, we found that this was the prediction of what the newspaper from the year 2050 would look like and was not a statement that the notes will be banned and will be shifted to digital currency.

Such a massive change would necessitate clear communication to the public, major infrastructure improvements, and precise policy announcements which have not happened. This false rumor has widely spread on social media without even a shred of evidence from its source, which has been unreliable and is hence completely false.

We also found a clip from a news channel to support our research by asianetnews on Instagram. 

‍

‍

‍

We found that the event will be held in Jain Deemed-to-be University, Kochi from 25th January to 1st February. After this advertisement went viral and people began criticizing it, the director of "The Summit of Future 2025" apologized for this confusion. According to him, it was a fictional future news story with a disclaimer, which was misread by some of its readers.

‍

The X handle of Summit of Future 2025 also posted a video of the official statement from Dr Tom.

‍

‍

‍

Conclusion:

‍

The claim that the Indian government will discontinue paper currency by February 1 and resort to full digital money is entirely false. There's no government announcement nor any evidence to support it. We would like to urge everyone to refer to standard sources for accurate information and be aware to avoid misinformation online.

• Claim: India to ban paper currency from February 1, switching to digital money.

Executive Summary:

‍

Our team has come across a recent social media post highlighting a report on fraudulent activities involving deceptive websites and emails impersonating India’s Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). These phishing scams falsely promise LPG distributorships and retail outlet dealerships, aiming to extract money and personal information from unsuspecting individuals. We strongly urge the public to exercise caution and verify all information exclusively through official OMC channels to avoid falling victim to such fraudulent schemes.

‍

‍

‍

Claim:

‍

It has been reported that fraudsters are impersonating Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum through fake websites and emails, promising LPG distributorships and seeking money from victims.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Fact Check:

‍

‍

After our research, we came upon more information about this topic and found out that the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has released an official notice confirming that fraudulent websites and emails are impersonating India's Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), which include Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd., and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. The scams falsely promise LPG distributorships and retail outlet dealerships while demanding large sums of money from unsuspecting individuals. On June 19, 2019, this was confirmed. The PIB highlighted that OMCs have not allowed any person or organization to charge a fee for dealership selection. All authentic information on these offers is available at the websites of the OMCs: www.iocl.com, www.bharatpetroleum.com, and www.hindustanpetroleum.com. The general public is cautioned to rely only on these sources and report suspicious approaches to the offices of concerned OMCs. If someone finds such an approach, he should immediately contact the cybercrime branch. HPCL has issued alerts on fake websites and emails that promise LPG distributorships and jobs, mimicking official HPCL sites to deceive people.

It has been proven that fraud offers for LPG distributorships and retail outlet dealerships are being made through fake websites and emails. To avoid such scams, people are advised to be more vigilant, verify all information through official OMC platforms, and immediately report any suspicious activities to the concerned authorities. Being alert and informed is the key to preventing financial loss and protecting personal data from exploitation.
