People also wanting to believe there was even a need for sophisticated cybersecurity attack in the first place. In a country where average household income is around $230 per month. In much wealthier country like Russia you can literally buy dump of all possible leaked data on any person for $1 and for $100 you can get all information government have about a person including camera and mobile phone tracking, etc.

And Venezuela is very very corrupt country. No cyberattack needed when you can pay $10,000 - $100,000 for a dude to pull the lever or to forget to pull the lever and literally 99.99% of people in a country do it.

Though these theories are easy to explain because people in mostly US community like HN have no understanding of what total corruption look like in a shit hole countries.
