The hacktivist collective Anonymous is in possession of 25,000 emails stolen from the Mexican government, which they'll use soon to out scores of Mexican drug cartel collaborators, says a spokesman. This is insane, if it's true. (A big if.)
The group is planning to release the list on November 5th along with supporting evidence including emails, though it might be delayed to allow further vetting, Brown said. Who will be on the list?
"These are taxi drivers involved in kidnappings. There's obviously a number of officials. Police officers," Brown said.
Any names on the list could become the targets of the Zetas' enemies. In September, 35 bodies were found in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz along with a note claiming the victims were supporters of the Zetas.
But Brown said Anonymous is releasing the names with the goal of causing violent chaos among Zetas' ranks. "It's going to be a bloodbath," he said. It's payback for the kidnapping of an Anonymous member in Veracruz by Zeta members, according to Operation Cartel's planners.
