Mexican cartels are accessing an intelligence and security database used by government agencies to hunt down their victims in real time, sources told Vice News.
The criminals can geolocate people through minute-to-minute location logs and obtain private information and documents through software called Titan, which is being shared on WhatsApp, according to the report.
The Mexican voter ID database, “credit bureaus, bank statements, phone apps logs, emails, amongst many others,” also make up the software, a source said.
An Israeli cyber-intelligence firm known as NSO Group is also responsible for developing Pegasus, a spyware capable of turning cellphones essentially into mobile surveillance devices.
Still, many governments, including Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, are known to have utilized Pegasus to spy on reporters, political opponents, or opposition groups, a Washington Post investigation found.
Titan can provide a person’s address, call log, criminal history, and credit information simply by entering a first and last name or phone number into the database, Vice News found.
