Cartel Hacker Used Phone Data to Track and Kill FBI Informants

2025-06-29

A Justice Department report reveals that a hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel used an FBI official's phone data and Mexico City's surveillance cameras to track and kill the agency's informants. The hacker obtained call logs and geolocation data from the FBI official's phone, and used the city's camera system to follow the official and identify their contacts. This information was used by the cartel to intimidate and, in some cases, kill potential sources and cooperating witnesses. The incident highlights the security risks posed by the global proliferation of surveillance cameras and data trade, leading the FBI to develop a strategic plan to mitigate vulnerabilities.

YouTube at 20: From Humble Beginnings to Media King

2025-04-26

Twenty years ago, a simple 19-second video, "Me at the zoo," launched YouTube's incredible journey. From its humble origins as a platform for amateur video sharing, YouTube has evolved into a media behemoth generating an estimated $54.2 billion in revenue last year, second only to Walt Disney Co. It has propelled stars like Justin Bieber to fame and birthed entertainment empires such as MrBeast. Navigating copyright infringement lawsuits and safety concerns, YouTube incentivized creators through its partner program and continuously refined its content moderation and child safety measures. Despite competition from rivals like TikTok and Instagram, YouTube's massive user base, strong brand, and diverse monetization strategies – including live TV and NFL streaming – solidify its position as a major force in television.
