WikiLeaks releases 'entire hacking capacity of the CIA' | Fox News

[FONT=&quot]WikiLeaks on Tuesday released what it said is the full hacking capacity of the CIA in a stunning 8,000-plus page disclosure the anti-secrecy website contends is “the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.”[/FONT][FONT=&quot]The 8,761 documents and files -- released as “Vault 7 Part 1” and titled “Year Zero” -- were obtained from an “isolated, high-security network” at the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Va., a press release from the website said. The trove had been “circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors,” one of whom “recently” gave the archive to WikiLeaks.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents," a CIA spokesperson told Fox News.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The collection of purported intelligence tools includes information on CIA-developed malware -- bearing names such as “Assassin” and “Medusa” -- intended to target iPhones, Android phones, smart TVs and Microsoft, Mac and Linux operating systems, among others. An entire unit in the CIA is devoted to inventing programs to hack data from Apple products, according to WikiLeaks.[/FONT]

Lol. Another major leaker... /smh

If this is the case then I hope that trump and session gets on it and goes after the previous CIA administrator and anyone else that authorized those programs.
this is a clear violation of the CIA authority.

then people wonder why we don't trust our government.

Genie can not be stuffed back into the bottle....The story in the UK Independent outlines that the CIA has 'lost control' of these technologies, and could be out there in the hacker world....This is some real danger if true, and another example of the ineptness of the last eight years....

That's was just an inevitably of what they are doing.

The Clapper one ... a classic.

That's was just an inevitably of what they are doing.

So, these dirty little demo's had their hacker sites in Germany hacking into Europe, and they are over here complaining that Russia may have hacked the DNC, and Podesta (who had the dumbest password in history) and trying to hang that around Trump when they know full well that they were doing worse through out the world....:shock:

Hey Renae, wanna take a bet on who will be the first person to blame this on Pres. Trump?? I'm putting my money on calamity, with cigar coming in a close second (no, I haven't read past the OP yet).

I'm more interested to see how the snowden lovers react. Here's another traitor damaging national security, only this time it's going to harm Obama, not Bush. Will they call this patriotic or will they condemn the leaker?

Correct.

And this is nothing new. There was outrage over this program when it became public:

but it never went away. They just changed some names.

I am glad for any information released by Wikileaks that exposes our government's spying on it's own citizens. Obama promised he would end the Bush program of spying. Instead he made it bigger than Bush could have imagined in his wildest wet dreams. And yes, this is going to be mostly on Obama. Good for Wikileaks. Leaks like this are the light that causes the cockroaches to scatter.

Well, you're certainly the first one to mention the name.

Are you concerned about the leak?

I have to ask, since it otherwise sounds like the purpose of the thread was to bait and trap "the left".

And get people killed, put our military men and women in harm's way... but hey, what's a few dumb soldiers lives compared to political hackery?

So much of this goes outside the bounds of "meh national security" that it's not traitorous to release it.
It's good, very good indeed.

Ironic that you are defending Obama. In my book, what Obama did with spying is just as bad as what Nixon did.... Actually, it's even worse, and it needs to be brought to light.

Except if you are an authoritarian who hates freedom. Then it will bother you a lot. LOL.

I respect Snowden and what he did to shine light on the practices of the NSA. I voted for Obama twice, but one of my biggest complaints was his continuation of Bush era policies that I find to be detrimental to the American people such as this. If this leak turns out to be similar(and true/accurate> and shines light on similar or worse behavior I believe the nation will be better for it, regardless of who it hurts or helps politically.

True, but it's only part of it, how deep is the mole and how damaging is their information? This stuff that's been released, this protects consumers, by exposing zero day vulnerabilities are being left "out there" which is BAD. But I do not like these sort of releases this way, it encourages such, and ultimately degrades our National Security, which I still believe is quite needed to protect our country.

I'm not in the least. Wherein do you get that from?

It would only violate their authority if the CIA used it to target American citizens or people inside the United States.

 

[danarhea]

Of course you are. It was Obama's spy program. Authoritarians will support things like this that put the boot on the neck of freedom, even if those ideas come from the opposite party. You just proved it.

This allows the CIA, if the wrong person assumes control, to essentially be a "turn key tyrant."
I'd rather they not have this capability, than to have.
