Covert CIA Cyberattacks Against Venezuela’s Military Payroll System and Intelligence Service Network (2019)
Journalistic investigations published in 2025, cited by CNN, Wired, and subsequent analyses, reported that during Donald Trump’s first term, the CIA carried out covert cyber operations against Venezuela, including actions targeting the military payroll system and the computer network used by Nicolás Maduro’s intelligence service. The public existence of the report is documented, but the technical details and attribution lack independent public forensic evidence.
