The WikiLeaks data dump, which consists of 8,761 files and documents, was taken from a high-security isolated network situated inside the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Within the data dump a folder called “Japanese Style Faces” can be found.

"Some have hypothesized that these emoticons are designed to help CIA hackers infiltrate online communities, posing as normal users of internet message boards in order to collect data or possibly push a particular narrative."

Huh? Who writes this? There just Kaomajoi (ascii emojis). Some agents or whoever getting in to online communities may have needed to familiarize with these to help communicate but they aren't like secret tools.

I’m suddenly feeling very confused for some reason.

Which is to say, I think I’d like to try her egg mc muffins...
