1
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:08.279
In the WU, Colonel Bueno'
s report, which we lacked Daniel'

2
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:13.599
s cyber blackmail of Cambio magazine for
having dared to denounce a fake anticancer drug.

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.399
What do we have today? That' s right, July. This

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.000
is today' s Colonel report.
In recent days, the magazine Cambio,

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.079
in which I worked until a few
months ago, has suffered repeated attacks on

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.320
its page that have temporarily taken it
out of the air. On six occasions,

7
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:35.560
investigators from the Computer Crime Unit of
the national police have tried to establish

8
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:41.439
the origin of the attacks, which
seems to come from different countries with millions

9
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:46.119
of accounts, while requesting information,
so that the system falls and the publication

10
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.119
is out of the air. The
thing looks like a movie. Hackers are

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.240
calling for an end to attacks that
will be eliminated. An article that denounces

12
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:03.960
that a company established in the United
States has been offering a false cure against

13
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.640
any type of cancer in exchange for
twenty- five thousand dollars. The company

14
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:14.760
is called oncoo cit, and it
is being promoted by saying that eight doses

15
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.200
of an alleged hemounotherapy leaves cancer free
for anyone who can pay more than a

16
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.239
hundred and ten million pesos. Journalist
Juliana Ramírez investigated and published an article about

17
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.799
the scope of this international organization of
embezzlers, which says it supplies its miraculous

18
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:38.200
postima at home in Colombia. What
the hackers are asking, moreover, in

19
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.079
very measured terms is that they remove
the item or they will continue to knock

20
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.079
down the change page at this time. We greet the editor of the magazine,

21
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.359
Federico Gómez Lara. Good morning,
Federico, Dan very good morning the

22
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.359
tea space to talk about Peru.
Federico how he started this research on the

23
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:15.840
fake cancer cure medicine. The investigation
also begins last year, in mid-

24
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.960
July, when one of Chile'
s victims starts counting the sight, we

25
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:37.800
dropped the call. But he'
s telling us. Federico Gómez Nara,

26
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.759
who began the investigation following a complaint
in Chile, and journalist Juliana Ramírez found

27
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:53.599
evidence that the same treatment was being
offered in Colombia to market any kind of

28
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.680
medicine, requires a legal permit in
Colombia to fire in vima. In this

29
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.919
case there was no traceability on this. There was no responsible entity in Colombia

30
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.960
and when she communicated, she was
told that she was being provided by clinical

31
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:20.039
experts at home. They were the
ones who made the infusions and injections with

32
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.879
this miraculous immunotherapy. From that and
from the collection of victims in several places,

33
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.159
she started the investigation, as Federico
was telling it, when the attacks

34
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:38.400
began and how they have done their
attacks. Federicos. Daniel Well, let

35
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:46.280
' s say the first attack started
on April twenty- two, because I

36
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.360
was out of the office and I
know the monology team to tell me,

37
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.080
because we were being victims of an
immense attack at that time, because I

38
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.400
ran out there the page in the
first attack was out of service for about

39
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.879
three hours and we managed to determine
where it came from. Because these attacks,

40
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.199
as you explained, which have hundreds
of millions of requests, are made

41
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.720
to a link to a specific act. Then the first thing they tried to

42
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.920
knock down was the main homen of
the page, and the second article,

43
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.079
with more than two hundred and fifty
million requests, was that article of the

44
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:33.439
people of a cook. Already in
a later phase we get a direct threat

45
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.079
from them asking us to put on
an article or that they will save all

46
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.480
the content of the page and we
will touch it virculación. How many times

47
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:49.560
the hackers have communicated with change on
two occasions, the first is by email

48
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:58.800
and the second directly to whatsapp of
the commercial director. I have to present

49
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.360
here also to you before and that
is that when the article was published,

50
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:08.759
the article that gave origin to all
of them communicated with the commercial department of

51
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.319
change as to try to buy the
silence, that is, they bought a

52
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.720
pattern. I' m notified of
the purchase of that pattern immediately. I

53
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.480
ask that you go back to that
money and there you start to see,

54
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:26.800
because a new operandillo that they do
is to buy sponsored content in media in

55
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:33.000
Latin America so that people looking for
treatment see that there are articles in reputable

56
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.079
media that support it. They tried
to do it with us. Fortunately,

57
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.879
we were able to avoid it.
Yes, I have seen that there are

58
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.759
other media where there are still publireportages
paid by this organization. The Colombian police

59
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:54.279
have been aware of the situation of
the attacks. Yes, on the day

60
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.519
of the first mass attack, I
communicated with the police. I can say

61
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.399
they' ve been diligent. A
unit of about eight computer crime men.

62
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.800
He left for the change facilities to
take the complaint and have been, say,

63
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:19.439
at our disposal and as the investigation
is progressing. On this Danieldo would

64
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.319
like to say what more than to
treat you with a topic of solidarity with

65
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.199
a change defense of bierta expression that
yes, what I would like here is

66
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:36.639
to make a little call to the
social service of journalism the word a little

67
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.720
thing when you search it in Google, because the first thing that appears to

68
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.519
you are those sponsored contents and then
the content of change that denounces it.

69
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.000
What I intend with this is that
more media, pages with great authority of

70
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.000
mastery tincture in this story, with
the word a cocito, so that patients

71
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:58.759
who seek a cure can immediately realize
that it is a scam. As I

72
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.439
was saying to you, it comes
in your column, when a family is

73
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:09.560
touched by cancer, they start to
make decisions less rational and you like it

74
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.720
on the Internet and try to stick
to anything, from any light of hope,

75
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.360
any postime or magic recipe that promotes
a cure, so that, because

76
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.839
it is a very serious situation in
which many people have fallen with the gravity

77
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:28.000
that they are not only facing a
slip and do not cure their illness,

78
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.399
but that these people make them film
a confidentiality agreement so that they cannot talk

79
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:39.040
about treatment and often invite them to
stop receiving the therapies. So it'

80
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:46.000
s a very complex gravity issue.
Yeah, which is very true of you.

81
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.040
Families who are living the terrible experience
of cancer want to find a solution.

82
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.120
Anyone who imagines a solution that is
easy, less painful and quick.

83
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:05.360
And so science does not have such
solutions. That' s why they are

84
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.439
easy victims of tricksters like this,
Federico, you have considered eliminating the publication

85
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.680
about this scam so that they leave
the portal alone, so that the magazine

86
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.360
can stay on the air without inconvenience. We had a look. That'

87
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.560
s an option I' ve never
considered and I think it can' t

88
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.199
be different. We are not prepared, therefore, for the page to fall

89
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.080
down whenever it has to fall.
But we are not going to eliminate this

90
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.440
content because, as you say now, it is a social service. Having

91
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:46.679
this to continue air, we are
saving days and we are salving families suffering

92
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.960
from this terrible disease, so that
there is no chance that that content will

93
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.159
be eliminated. I reiterate the call
for many media to register it so that

94
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.279
more and more and more results are
taken into account in this state. A

95
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.679
thousand thanks to Federico Gómez Lara,
director of the magazine. Change and the

96
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.879
record remains that a new form of
technological censorship is being released in Colombia.

97
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.679
The press can' t access it. This was today' s Colonel report.

98
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:16.480
Thank you very much.
