On 31 January 2016, a fake news site published an article reporting that drug notorious lord Joaquin Guzmán (commonly known as 'El Chapo'), who had just been re-arrested by Mexican authorities seven months after he escaped from a maximum security prison, had broken out of prison for a third time: Although Guzmán has indeed escaped from custody in Mexico more than once, there was no truth to this story about his having broken out of the Altiplano maximum security prison once again. An identical article was republished in July 2016 by the same fake news site, this time using trademarks illegally appropriated from a legitimate news organization (ABC News) in order to lure readers into clicking through to the underlying malware site and generate advertising revenue.
