Exibido em:: Mai 19, 2026
When we think about the War on Drugs, we tend to picture police kicking down doors or busting dealers on the street. But these days, the drug war is just as much about huge networks of surveillance, data analysis and digital espionage. And this spying isn’t just being carried out by the cops. Made by Proton, Data War is a series investigating the hidden battles shaping our digital world from mass surveillance and cybercrime to the fight for privacy and human rights online. As governments, corporations and criminals battle for control of our data, the series reveals why digital freedom, personal privacy and the tools we use to protect ourselves have never mattered more. In this episode we’re looking at how Mexican drug cartels are hacking US law enforcement, monitoring entire cities through their CCTV system – and importing cutting edge military technology from the world’s deadliest war zone.
