"Univision interviewed a purported Mexican whistle-blower -- a student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico named Juan Carlos Munoz Ledo. The student told Univision he was recruited by a leftist professor who wanted to wage cyber attacks on the United States and its allies.

Munoz told Univision he secretly recorded a meeting in 2008 with Acosta, who was then the cultural attache of the Venezuelan Embassy in Mexico. According to a recording Univision aired as part of its report, Acosta is heard saying that she can send the information gathered by the hackers straight to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez."

Or is she just being mis-translated?

No, you said Cisneros is still on the board of directors, which is wrong. ChangoLoa Jan 2012 #34

Univision is not Venezuelan nor transmitted in Venezuela outside the satellite or the cable network. ChangoLoa Jan 2012 #29
