Cyberscoop profiles #Guacamaya: "Officials in Peru attempted to quash coverage of the leaks there. A Peruvian military official threatened to bring treason charges against Ernesto Cabral, a journalist with the independent Peruvian news outlet La Encerrona, when he initially reported on the #FuerzasRepresivas
material...

La Encerrona wrote extensively about Guacamaya’s Peruvian leaks, covering revelations the Peruvian military had been monitoring left-wing parties and specific left-wing figures as threats to the state. The files also revealed that the Peruvian military deemed civil organizations in the region a threat because they “infiltrate and advise the population against mining,” La Encerrona tweeted." https://www.cyberscoop.com/guacamaya-hacktivist-group-latin-america-interview/ #DDoSecrets

On to 2020 ... we started out the year by publishing datasets from Latin America. This was personally rewarding for me, as one of my long term career goals has been to enhance the global understanding of events in Latin America. We were first to publish #Milicoleaks from Chile's military, from the hacktivist Matapacos. Matapacos was eventually rewarded by the first hacktivist bug bounty of $10,000 from Phineas Fisher: https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxeykb/phineas-fisher-says-they-paid-dollar10000-bounty-to-person-who-hacked-chilean-military We also added some historical datasets like PacoLeaks, too, which were not exclusive to us. These datasets were historical precedents to 2022's massive set of releases of military and police data from the region, like #FuerzasRepresivas #HappyAnniversaryDDoSecrets
