We are Azam Ahmed and Nicole Perlroth from the NY Times and we have been investigating how spyware has been used to target journalists and human rights activists in Mexico. Ask Us Anything!

I am Nicole Perloth, and I cover cybersecurity for The New York Times.

And I am Azam Ahmen, the bureau chief for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

We teamed up to work on a story about software purchased by the Mexican government that is supposed to fight criminals and terrorists. But instead, it is used against some of the government's most outspoken critics and their families. Read the story and ask us anything: http://ift.tt/2sG5q9A
