In the end, it is up to us to stay vigilant and take action to protect ourselves, our businesses, and our communities. Law enforcement agencies can work with businesses and organizations to ensure they understand the risks. We should be willing to collaborate and share information with others in our industry, as well as law enforcement agencies, to stay ahead of emerging threats. - Collaborate: One of the most important steps law enforcement agencies can take is to collaborate with other agencies, both international and domestic. As IT professionals and executives, we have a responsibility to do our part in this fight. It is crucial that law enforcement agencies, businesses, and individuals work together to combat cybercrime and protect ourselves from its devastating consequences. - Legal Tooling: Law enforcement agencies can use a range of legal tools to stop hacker groups. Leading up to its demise, REvil became one of the most successful and damaging cybercrime syndicates in the world.

The rights to truth, justice and reparations of all victims must be fulfilled. The High Commissioner urges the Haitian authorities to immediately address the grave security situation. Half of the population does not have enough to eat, and in some areas, such as Cité Soleil, hunger has reached particularly alarming levels. A quarter of those displaced live in makeshift settlements, with very limited access to basic services such as drinking water and sanitation. Most of the victims were killed or injured by snipers who were reportedly randomly shooting at people in their homes or on the streets. Without the protective environment of schools, many children have been forcibly recruited by armed gangs.

One year ago, President Nayib Bukele suspended constitutional rights and started an all-out offensive on gangs.

The second official who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity, a social worker, called it “a time bomb.” Police arrived and forced them to strip to search for tattoos, and eventually let them go, the family said. “We received specific orders that we in the streets had to arrest a certain number of people, whether they were gangsters or not,” the officer said. The officer said that in Bukele's ranks, there is a widespread fear that the gangs are biding their time, and that they will then become targets. "It’s a model that sells a kind of punitive populism to gain popularity and stay in power.” You know there are a lot of innocent people caught in the middle,” said Jorge Guzmán, a pastor of a church in a former red zone.

As the sun sets, families amble through the streets in a religious procession, instead of hiding away at the first hint of darkness. For many, fear of the gangs has been replaced by fear of the very government claiming to protect them. Observers raise alarms about the slipping of a delicate democracy, a decay threatening to ripple across the region. Bukele has imprisoned over 65,000 of the nation's 6.3 million people, packing thousands inside a “ mega-prison ” that's set to be one of the world’s largest. El Salvador has undergone a radical transformation since President Nayib Bukele – the self-described “world’s coolest dictator” – ordered a state of emergency in response to an alarming surge in gang violence.
