Cartel Surveillance: FBI Informants Targeted in Mexico City

The provided texts discuss an X post by LuisCardenasMX concerning a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) report that alleges the Sinaloa Cartel exploited Mexico City's (CDMX) surveillance cameras in 2018 to track and kill FBI informants. This incident, occurring shortly after Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's extradition, highlights the dangers of widespread surveillance technology being misused by criminal organizations. The sources explain how a hacker working for the cartel accessed an FBI official's phone data and geolocation, then leveraged CDMX cameras to identify targets. The X post sparked significant public debate in Mexico, raising concerns about privacy, government surveillance, and potential political corruption, especially in light of recent legislative changes like the "Ley Espía."
