"Guatemalan journalists Sonny Figueroa and Marvin del Cid, of the digital news outlet Vox Populi, recently denounced through their social networks they are being classified as a "threat to the security of the State' in their country.

Everything happened after the also journalist Luis Assardo had access to documents that were extracted from servers of the Ministry of Defense, in an attack by hackers known as "Cyclops," who are involved in data hacking. The incident took place on July 1 and, according to the report of @_bettercyber_ in the social network X, more than 5 GB of information was hacked.

According to statements made by Marvin del Cid, in addition to the two of them, this document mentions José Rubén Zamora, former director and owner of the defunct newspaper ElPeriódico, who is also facing criminal proceedings, and Oscar Clemente Marroquín, president of Diario La Hora."
