Las autoridades de Bolivia han arrestado a un grupo de secuestradores que hackeaba computadoras para obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre sus v\u00edctimas y exig\u00eda rescates exorbitantes; un caso ins\u00f3lito en un pa\u00eds que no es conocido por el secuestro o el crimen cibern\u00e9tico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Centro Especial de Investigaci\u00f3n Policial (CEIP) de Bolivia detuvo a cuatro personas en La Paz, acusadas ??de secuestrar al menos a 17 personas y exigiendo rescates individuales de hasta US$200.000 a las familias de las v\u00edctimas, inform\u00f3 el diario La Raz\u00f3n<\/a>. Los arrestos son el resultado de tres meses de investigaci\u00f3n policial sobre el grupo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El comandante general de la polic\u00eda, Walter Villarpando, dijo que el grupo planeaba los secuestros durante al menos dos semanas, investigando a cada v\u00edctima y sus activos con la ayuda de un hacker. Tras el secuestro, llamaban a la familia de la v\u00edctima, se identificaban como trabajadores de sicarios colombianos, y exig\u00edan el pago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El l\u00edder de la red, un pastor evang\u00e9lico, dijo durante el interrogatorio<\/a> que el grupo hab\u00eda estado robando a los ricos para d\u00e1rselo a los pobres, a pesar de que s\u00f3lo las familias de los secuestradores recibieran el dinero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las autoridades dijeron que, si bien ninguna v\u00edctima result\u00f3 herida, la mayor\u00eda no denunci\u00f3 el delito por miedo a represalias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mientras que el secuestro es un delito com\u00fan en otros pa\u00edses de Latinoam\u00e9rica -especialmente Venezuela y M\u00e9xico- no es un problema importante en Bolivia, aunque otros casos han sido registrados durante el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Este caso tambi\u00e9n es notable por dos razones: en primer lugar, la cantidad de dinero demandada, que era extremadamente alta -en comparaci\u00f3n, un grupo mexicano desmantelado en 2011 cobraba<\/a> ??menos de US$4.000; en segundo lugar, por el uso de la tecnolog\u00eda para realizar el crimen. El uso de medios de redes sociales o la pirater\u00eda de software para obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre los secuestrados es una faceta com\u00fan del crimen cibern\u00e9tico<\/a> y su uso en este caso indica que la organizaci\u00f3n era un tanto sofisticada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Cobertura sobre secuestro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n La naci\u00f3n andina, al igual que otras de Latinoam\u00e9rica, est\u00e1 mal equipada para enfrentar el crimen cibern\u00e9tico<\/a>, al no tener un marco legal espec\u00edfico para criminalizarlo y castigarlo, e incluso suprimiendo las fuerzas de seguridad de la Divisi\u00f3n de Delitos Inform\u00e1ticos en el 2008, seg\u00fan el Monitor Mundial Sobre la Sociedad de la Informaci\u00f3n<\/a>, una ONG que monitorea la seguridad
