Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed (Wikileaks unveils the CIA)
Wikileaks ^ | 3/7/2017 | Wikileaks

Posted on 03/07/2017 6:12:05 AM PST by Ultra Sonic 007

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.

The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.

Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.

"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency's...

You gotta have the old flip phone to escape their prying. Not sure they haven’t figured out how to compromise those at this point.

What if they were sold to level the playing field. That would be something obozo would like and encourage.

This is what Clinton did with nuclear/missile technology, especially to the Chinese. Dems back then (still?) believed that if more advanced countries had about the same level of knowledge of technology, there would be much less (no?) need for spying.

Utopians are always delusional. Of course, in their utopias, some of the animals are always more equal than others.

Admiral Mike Rogers must have had a very interesting conversation with Trump when he flew up to NYC to visit

I wonder how he shielded it

No, no. NSA is the organization tasked to handle such things as cybersecurity. CIA has usurped their purview. So, it was certainly a very interesting discussion between the President elect and Admiral Rogers, but it wasn't Rogers that was on the menu.

No wonder Clapper and Brennan (particularly the latter) wanted to get rid of Rogers.

Reading the release it is clear that the CIA malware can reside on Windows, Ios, and Android software capturing data BEFORE ENCRYPTION.

Either Brennan is arrested , tried and convicted or the harassment of the Trump Administration will continue.

Muslim convert. Allegedly behind the passport office break in and the murders of Harris, the choir director Young and other gay men from the Trinity Church who had relations with Soetoro.

Drudge: “Another Snowden”

Now, who has been complaining about leaks the last couple of months. And hasn't the MSM pooh-poohed the whole thing? Once again reality come to President Trump's aid.
