CIA official touts agency’s Cyber Mission Center in capture of Venezuela’s Maduro

A CIA deputy director credited the agency's Cyber Mission Center with playing a role in the January capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The official described the operation as flawless during a recent statement about the agency's cyberwarfare capabilities.

Why it matters: Government agencies and policy stakeholders should track how intelligence services are deploying cyber operations in geopolitical actions, as these tactics influence international intervention doctrine and broader cyber policy decisions.
