All of Colombia's internet traffic is monitored by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, according to a hacked email circulated on Twitter on Monday night, signaling widespread American surveillance of electronic communications in the country considered the longtime central battlefield in the global war on drugs.
The email, sent by Eduardo Pardo, a field engineer for the private surveillance firm Hacking Team in Colombia, mentions technology recently purchased by the DEA that "will receive all the traffic for Colombian's ISPs [Internet service providers]."
Hacking Team is a cyber-security company based in Milan, Italy, that sells surveillance technologies to governments, including several identified as repressive against journalists and dissidents or as violators of human rights. The firm on Sunday suffered a massive hack, with 400 gigabytes of data related to its operations dumped online.

I guess the USA wants to make sure it's product isn't going into any other countries, and if so, they will get their cut. It's already on record that the USA flys all of that in the states on big c130's.

It's beautiful, all this kind of shit does is make a more paranoid bunch of people who are essentially political criminals a fuck ton more paranoid, and a fuck ton less likely to use any kind of modern technology to conduct business.
It's gonna drive the switched on gangs back to talking face to face in open places where they can't be monitored... good luck tracking that one DEA.

This place was subpoenaed a couple of years back and is one of the contributing factors to Ross Ulbricts (Dead Pirate Roberts) demise.
Just saying.

apparently its world-wide..
"Leak Shows Hacking Team Sold Spyware to FBI, DEA
Leaked documents appear to show an Italy-based private spyware company known as the Hacking Team was selling its products to U.S. law enforcement agencies and repressive governments around the world. The Hacking Team sells software which lets users seize remote control of another person’s computer. Its customers include the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Army, as well as foreign governments including Ethiopia, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The documents were published to the company’s own Twitter feed following an apparent breach."

Or they'll do what the elite do, and hide symbols and things in movies and tv shows, as a form of communication. Yes, we know what you're up to USA, not all of us are stupid to your games and manipulation.
