"On Nov. 26, while a story was being broadcast on the show Punto Final on Latina TV, a journalist of the Peruvian channel's team was threatened with death via Whatsapp messages. The story uncovered a mafia dedicated to hacking the database of the Ministry of Education to create false certificates of high school completion.
The messages threatened the journalist and his family. 'You have already lost...now your family is in danger, I already know who you live with,' some of the messages read. The threats came just as the story was being broadcast. The journalist, whose name has not been disclosed for security reasons, reported the incident to the authorities in Lima."
