MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that an old phone and email of hers were hacked.

Sheinbaum noted during a daily press conference that she had given the required warnings when she became aware of the hacking, and added that the email was old and the phone is no longer used for "personal communication" but to talk to her supporters.
