El Chapo's Mexican Drug Cartel FBI Rats Hit-List: How Brutal Mob Launched Hack Attack Plan to Trace and Wipe Out Government Snitches
The shocking details of a brazen hack attack plan by the Sinaloa Cartel, El Chapo's former drug cartel, have been exposed in a bombshell report from the Department of Justice inspector general. RadarOnline.com has obtained an exclusive look at the explosive findings, revealing how the notorious Mexican crime syndicate hired a hacker to spy on US agents and their sources back in 2018.
In what can only be described as a chilling display of technological prowess, the Sinaloa Cartel managed to breach Mexico City's CCTV network and tap into the phone of an FBI agent working on the agency's case against Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. The hacker was able to access the agent's phone, including their call records and geolocation data, allowing the cartel to zero in on the agent's movements.
The audit report revealed that the hacker also accessed Mexico City's camera system, using the cameras to follow the FBI agent through the city and identify individuals they met with. The information collected by the hacker was then used to intimidate and, in some instances, kill potential sources or cooperating witnesses.
According to the report, the Sinaloa Cartel "used that information to target an FBI legal attaché working on the case against El Chapo." The audit warned that advanced technology has made it easier for adversaries to track and locate agents, citing examples such as data mining, facial recognition, and computer network exploitation.
Experts have described this threat as 'existential,' with some within the FBI and partner agencies describing it as a major concern. The report continued: "Some within the FBI and partner agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), have described this threat as 'existential.'"
The Trump administration has labeled the Sinaloa Cartel a terrorist organization earlier this year, highlighting the growing threat posed by the cartel's sophisticated tactics.
A Look into El Chapo's Notorious Past
El Chapo was sentenced to life in prison in 2019 after being found guilty of numerous crimes connected to the Sinaloa Cartel, including multiple counts of conspiracy for smuggling drugs into the country. The notorious drug kingpin is also believed to be responsible for the murders of an estimated 34,000 people.
The US has offered a $10million reward for the capture of El Chapo's sons, Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, with the government deeming them high-priority targets in the ongoing war against organized crime.
El Chapo's two other sons, Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, are currently in US custody, while their father remains behind bars serving his life sentence. However, the Sinaloa Cartel continues to pose a significant threat to global security, with the report highlighting the dangers posed by the cartel's advanced technology and tactics.
