DEA intercepting all internet traffic in Colombia: Hacked email

DEA intercepting all internet traffic in Colombia: Hacked email
Posted by Emma Rosser on Jul 8, 2015

The United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has been intercepting all of Colombia’s internet traffic, according to an email released on Monday.

The email revealed the use of interception tools “that will receive all the traffic for Colombian ISPs” signalling the intercepting of literally the entire country’s internet traffic.

If true, this means that Colombian internet traffic is not just being intercepted by the National Security Agency (NSA), but also by the DEA, allegedly from inside the US Embassy office in Bogota.

The email was published by journalist Ryan Gallagher of Intercept, the news website run by US journalist Glenn Greenwald who previously helped make the NSA’s global spying practices public.
