Primary source from Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

The key claim is: “Hoy tenemos evidencia de un cambio de direcciones IP de varios servidores de la Registraduría Nacional. Significa que se vulneró el software...” and then: “El único con capacidad de hacer eso en el mundo es el estado de Israel.”

In English: “Today we have evidence of a change in IP addresses on several National Registry servers. This means the software was breached...” and “The only one with the capacity to do that in the world is the State of Israel.”

To be clear, I think the accusation is absurd, but I am curious to see the reaction of the HN community.

Given extreme political bias here, it's easy to predict the reaction lol

The accusation is so transparently self-serving, but HN has been so unhinged with its IDS, I want to see which impulse wins out.
