The CIA is a trusted source, albeit outdated. This has been all over the news here and in the UK.

But didn't remember that Brasil was that high up on the list. Makes sense seeing how much ransom money that's being wired into the country though. |

Oh, I agree, but the probability of high-tech goods not making their way into such a gigantic economy is very slim. The one thing I love about shanty towns in Brazil is the sheer amount of satellite dishes you see on rooftops 
And mobile phones. I wonder if there's a single cyberpunk author who could've imagined muddy slums with so many shiny devices.
