#DDoSecrets' work with ICIJ and OCCRP, including providing the data and foundational research, enabled both the #NarcoFiles and the #CyprusConfidential collaborations. The real world impact of these investigations is already being felt and will continue well into 2024
We're also proud to have worked with PPLAAF on another collaboration this year, in addition to ICIJ's other 2023 investigation, #DeforestationInc
Today @OCCRP launched #NarcoFiles, an international investigation and collaboration between more than 40 media outlets.
The project was sparked by a leak from the Colombian prosecutor’s office, when hacktivists obtained emails by breaking into the Microsoft Exchange Server, a platform used by the Colombian prosecutor’s office. They shared it, among others, with @ddosecrets who passed on the leak to #OCCRP and Latin American media outlets.
COMING SOON: 40 media outlets representing 23 countries.
5 terabytes of leaked emails from the Colombian prosecutor’s office.
The biggest investigation into organized crime originating from Latin America, based on leaks published by @ddosecrets
Big thanks to @OCCRP and media partners for reporting on the #NarcoFiles
