COLOMBIA: The dark side of military electronic intelligence
Between 4 and 21 February the Colombian public was shaken by three successive revelations in the media: that a covert army electronic surveillance centre had been illegally hacking into the communications of government negotiators in the Havana peace talks with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc), that hacked communications had uncovered corrupt dealing by high-ranking military officers, and that President Juan Manuel Santos’s email messages, personal and with government officials, had been hacked. A number of generals were either relieved of their posts or ordered into retirement, but it is not yet clear who was behind these developments.
