Hispan Online Operates 30 Fake News Websites
8.3
Investigative group Cazadores de Fake News reports that a coordinated network called 'Hispan Online' created 30 websites and 30 YouTube channels between Feb. 17–25, 2026, publishing 11,391 articles in one month and garnering over 47.5 million views. Domain records and technical indicators link registrars and an Argentine firm, QSocial, to the operation, which replicates a single WordPress model to amplify pro-Delcy Rodríguez narratives.

- 3Advises practitioners to use image/content clustering and registrar forensics to detect and disrupt influence networks
Scoring Rationale
Strong novelty and actionable technical indicators, but relies on investigative reporting and not yet corroborated by official authorities.
