WikiLeaks posts alleged CIA trove depicting mass hacking

Last Updated Mar 7, 2017 3:52 PM EST

WASHINGTON -- WikiLeaks published thousands of documents Tuesday described as secret files about CIA hacking tools the government employs to break into users’ computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs.

Some companies that manufacture smart TVs include: Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung.

The documents describe clandestine methods for bypassing or defeating encryption, antivirus tools and other protective security features intended to keep the private information of citizens and corporations safe from prying eyes. U.S. government employees, including President Trump, use many of the same products and internet services purportedly compromised by the tools.

The documents describe CIA efforts -- cooperating with friendly foreign governments and the U.S. National Security Agency -- to subvert the world’s most popular technology platforms.

Some of the products affected include: Apple’s iPhones and iPads, Google’s Android phones and Microsoft Windows operating system (desktop and laptops).

Details of WikiLeaks’ document release

  • Largest publication of confidential documents about the CIA
  • Code-named “Vault7
  • Part 1 includes 8,761 documents from CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence
  • Reveals direction of global hacking program
  • Information on agency’s malware arsenal
  • Claims that CIA used products like iPhones and smart TVs as covert microphones
  • Claims that the CIA used its Langley HQ and U.S. consulate in Frankfurt, Germany as bases for its hackers 
  • Broad exchanges of tools and information among the CIA, NSA and other U.S. intelligence agencies

CIA also uses the program to misdirect where the - attacks are coming from.

[ In Reply To ..]
The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques "stolen" from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

That means that hacking attributed to Russians was not - done by Russians but by agencies

[ In Reply To ..]
that said that it was done by Russians.

Put politics aside for a minute and think about it. Good intelligence prevents wars. By no means was victory in WWII a sure thing. Two critical intelligence successes, the locating of Nazi heavy water aboard the SF Hydro and it’s sinking and the radio intercepts that lead to victory at Midway, were critical to victory.

In the absence of either, the war could have gone the other way.

"By the end of 2016, the CIA's hacking division, which - formally falls under

[ In Reply To ..]
the agency's Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), had over 5000 registered users and had produced more than a thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses, and other "weaponized" malware. Such is the scale of the CIA's undertaking that by 2016, its hackers had utilized more code than that used to run Facebook. The CIA had created, in effect, its "own NSA" with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified."

not the Russians, could it be that the agencies wanted to create this situation where Trump would be investigated for having ties to the Russians when he actually does not? Maybe just one way they will try to destroy his presidency?

My husband downloaded the Wikileaks torrent last night - and whatever people think of Snowden

[ In Reply To ..]
what he shared publicly was a just a thimble full, this is an flood.

If the CIA is using this to mislead America and not the enemy, this is big.

In all honesty, all this secret crap is the antithesis of America. Instead of being the solid honest sheriff in the west, we have turned into just another wormy scheming figure, hanging out in shadows and skulking in alleys. It makes us just an American version of Europe.

I have come to believe that we have always been a scheming wormy country, but it has been hidden in the background (deep state). Big money, power, and extreme science.

There are no checks and balances on them. Who really overseas the CIA, FBI, etc, and the media?

It never occurred to him to ask Clinton the same question. Of cours ...
