Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed this Monday that unknown individuals hacked her cell phone and personal email account after handing over 29 drug traffickers to the United States on February 27, as reported by The New York Times.
“They hacked my phone and my email account. Apple immediately called the (government) Digital Transformation Agency. They duly became aware of the hack, the Digital Transformation Agency took action and quickly reviewed it,” the president said in her morning press conference.
The Mexican leader acknowledged the New York newspaper’s report on Friday that “shortly after the handover” of the criminals to the United States, “Sheinbaum’s cell phone was hacked, according to several people familiar with the matter,” although she clarified that the perpetrators are still unknown.
“They are investigating, it is difficult to know (who did it),” he commented.
