According to Colombian banking data, the financial system recorded more than 765,000 fraud claims during 2025, with losses exceeding COP 967,000 million, while industry and commerce authorities reported 40,316 identity impersonation complaints between 2020 and mid-2026.

The Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority reported efforts to secure close to 1 trillion pesos for a technological modernization plan for the country's aeronautical system, including a US$300 million loan from CAF to be formalized in the coming weeks. The plan would start in December and run through 2030, covering 67 aeronautical stations and upgrading control, surveillance, navigation and communications equipment. The announcement came a day after a technical failure at the Bogotá Control Center that forced the cancellation of 79 flights and delayed 97 more.

Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production next year to make room for the Cybercab
Elon Musk announced in a post on X that Tesla will "wind down" Cybertruck production at its Texas Gigafactory around the middle of next year, "to make room for increased Cybercab production." The Austin plant is the only one known to assemble the Cybertruck. Tesla does not break out Cybertruck sales, but the highest analyst estimates put deliveries at roughly 70,000 since its 2023 launch, below the 250,000 a year Musk once predicted.

Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory next year to "make room" for building more Cybercabs, its driverless autonomous taxis. Musk did not specify whether Tesla will stop making the vehicle entirely or move production elsewhere, though the project's lead engineer, Wes Morrill, suggested on X that the vehicle is being discontinued. Launched in 2023 after delays, the Cybertruck had disappointing sales and several recalls.

Texas governor-elect halts data centers until rules protecting Texans are in place
Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa said the state will stop data center construction until laws protecting Texans exist. In an interview with CNN she said the facilities have moved mostly into rural communities without rules regulating them. Texas has more than 80 data centers operating, the second most in the country, according to Cleanview, with another 50 under construction and more than 120 planned. Hinojosa said she is not against data centers and that the state remains pro-business.
