¿Quién está detrás de los ataques cibernéticos a revista Cambio?

0:01 In the WU, Colonel Bueno' s report, which we lacked Daniel' s cyber blackmail of Cambio magazine for having dared to denounce a fake anticancer drug. What do we have today? That' s right, July. This is today' s Colonel report. In recent days, the magazine Cambio, in which I worked until a few months ago, has suffered repeated attacks on its page that have temporarily taken it out of the air. On six occasions, investigators from the Computer Crime Unit of the national police have tried to establish the origin of the attacks, which seems to come from different countries with millions of accounts, while requesting information, so that the system falls and the publication is out of the air. The thing looks like a movie. Hackers are calling for an end to attacks that will be eliminated. An article that denounces that a company established in the United States has been offering a false cure against any type of cancer in exchange for twenty- five thousand dollars. The company is called oncoo cit, and it is being promoted by saying that eight doses of an alleged hemounotherapy leaves cancer free for anyone who can pay more than a hundred and ten million pesos. Journalist Juliana Ramírez investigated and published an article about the scope of this international organization of embezzlers, which says it supplies its miraculous

1:32 postima at home in Colombia. What the hackers are asking, moreover, in very measured terms is that they remove the item or they will continue to knock down the change page at this time. We greet the editor of the magazine, Federico Gómez Lara. Good morning, Federico, Dan very good morning the tea space to talk about Peru. Federico how he started this research on the fake cancer cure medicine. The investigation also begins last year, in mid- July, when one of Chile' s victims starts counting the sight, we dropped the call. But he' s telling us. Federico Gómez Nara, who began the investigation following a complaint in Chile, and journalist Juliana Ramírez found evidence that the same treatment was being offered in Colombia to market any kind of medicine, requires a legal permit in Colombia to fire in vima. In this case there was no traceability on this. There was no responsible entity in Colombia

3:05 and when she communicated, she was told that she was being provided by clinical experts at home. They were the ones who made the infusions and injections with this miraculous immunotherapy. From that and from the collection of victims in several places, she started the investigation, as Federico was telling it, when the attacks began and how they have done their attacks. Federicos. Daniel Well, let ' s say the first attack started on April twenty- two, because I was out of the office and I know the monology team to tell me, because we were being victims of an immense attack at that time, because I ran out there the page in the first attack was out of service for about three hours and we managed to determine where it came from. Because these attacks, as you explained, which have hundreds of millions of requests, are made to a link to a specific act. Then the first thing they tried to knock down was the main homen of the page, and the second article, with more than two hundred and fifty million requests, was that article of the people of a cook. Already in a later phase we get a direct threat from them asking us to put on an article or that they will save all

4:39 the content of the page and we will touch it virculación. How many times the hackers have communicated with change on two occasions, the first is by email and the second directly to whatsapp of the commercial director. I have to present here also to you before and that is that when the article was published, the article that gave origin to all of them communicated with the commercial department of change as to try to buy the silence, that is, they bought a pattern. I' m notified of the purchase of that pattern immediately. I ask that you go back to that money and there you start to see, because a new operandillo that they do is to buy sponsored content in media in Latin America so that people looking for treatment see that there are articles in reputable media that support it. They tried to do it with us. Fortunately, we were able to avoid it. Yes, I have seen that there are other media where there are still publireportages paid by this organization. The Colombian police have been aware of the situation of the attacks. Yes, on the day of the first mass attack, I communicated with the police. I can say they' ve been diligent. A unit of about eight computer crime men.

6:08 He left for the change facilities to take the complaint and have been, say, at our disposal and as the investigation is progressing. On this Danieldo would like to say what more than to treat you with a topic of solidarity with a change defense of bierta expression that yes, what I would like here is to make a little call to the social service of journalism the word a little thing when you search it in Google, because the first thing that appears to you are those sponsored contents and then the content of change that denounces it. What I intend with this is that more media, pages with great authority of mastery tincture in this story, with the word a cocito, so that patients who seek a cure can immediately realize that it is a scam. As I was saying to you, it comes in your column, when a family is touched by cancer, they start to make decisions less rational and you like it on the Internet and try to stick to anything, from any light of hope, any postime or magic recipe that promotes a cure, so that, because it is a very serious situation in which many people have fallen with the gravity that they are not only facing a slip and do not cure their illness, but that these people make them film a confidentiality agreement so that they cannot talk about treatment and often invite them to stop receiving the therapies. So it'

7:39 s a very complex gravity issue. Yeah, which is very true of you. Families who are living the terrible experience of cancer want to find a solution. Anyone who imagines a solution that is easy, less painful and quick. And so science does not have such solutions. That' s why they are easy victims of tricksters like this, Federico, you have considered eliminating the publication about this scam so that they leave the portal alone, so that the magazine can stay on the air without inconvenience. We had a look. That' s an option I' ve never considered and I think it can' t be different. We are not prepared, therefore, for the page to fall down whenever it has to fall. But we are not going to eliminate this content because, as you say now, it is a social service. Having this to continue air, we are saving days and we are salving families suffering from this terrible disease, so that there is no chance that that content will be eliminated. I reiterate the call for many media to register it so that more and more and more results are taken into account in this state. A thousand thanks to Federico Gómez Lara, director of the magazine. Change and the record remains that a new form of technological censorship is being released in Colombia.

9:11 The press can' t access it. This was today' s Colonel report. Thank you very much.
