On January 27, 2018, Venezuelan cartoonist Rayma Suprani reported via Twitter that her website had been hacked, stating, “Our website was hacked; I think they didn’t like today’s cartoon. We’re working to get it back online.” She attributed the attack to a cartoon she published that same day depicting the villa in El Junquito where Óscar Pérez, a former CICPC official, died on January 15 along with several colleagues during a military operation; in the illustration, the villa was depicted with a red flag bearing the image of President Nicolás Maduro and the slogan “vote.” The incident was reported by Venezuelan media outlets (TalCual and Maduradas). The perpetrator of the attack was not publicly identified, nor was any technical impact documented beyond the temporary takedown of the site.
