Ransomware Hits Colombian Justice Ministry Days Before Presidential Transition

A ransomware attack struck Colombia's Justice Ministry shortly before a presidential transition. The incident reflects broader targeting of critical infrastructure and government entities throughout Latin America.

Why it matters: Colombian government officials and justice system operations face operational disruption and potential data theft at a politically sensitive moment; practitioners should monitor for follow-up demands and assess whether transitional personnel have access to incident response protocols.
