Data leak sparks concern for Mexican journalists

An apparent leak of journalists' personal data held by the Mexican government triggered alarm among media rights activists on Friday in one of the world's most dangerous countries for the press. A cybersecurity expert warned that the names, identity documents, telephone numbers and, in some cases, addresses of more than 300 journalists accredited to attend President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's regular news conferences had appeared online.
