A federal report says in 2018 the Sinaloa Cartel hired a hacker to track an FBI agent to find informants and witnesses against the cartel boss.

The Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico hacked the phone of an FBI official investigating kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán as part of a surveillance campaign “to intimidate and/or kill potential sources or cooperating witnesses,” according to a recently published report by the Justice Department.

Sinaloa cartel hackers broke into an FBI official's phone, using data to murder informants, the DOJ said. We're hearing from Katarina Szulc, an independent journalist in Mexico, who has reported on cartels for years.
