WikiLeaks says just 1% of Vault7 covert documents released so far

[DFighter]

WikiLeaks’ data dump on Tuesday accounted for less than one percent of ‘Vault 7’,
A collection of leaked CIA documents which revealed the extent of its hacking capabilities, the whistleblowing organization has claimed on Twitter.

‘Year Zero’, comprising 8,761 documents and files, was released unexpectedly by WikiLeaks.
The organization had initially announced that it was part of a larger series, known as ‘Vault 7.’

However, it did not give further information on when more leaks would occur or on how many series would comprise ‘Vault 7’.

he leaks have revealed the CIA’s covert hacking targets, with smart TVs infiltrated for the purpose of collecting audio, even when the device is powered off.

The Google Android Operating System, used in 85 percent of the world’s smartphones, was also exposed as having severe vulnerabilities, allowing the CIA to “weaponize” the devices.

The CIA would not confirm the authenticity of the leak. “We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents.” Jonathan Liu, a spokesman for the CIA, is cited as saying in The Washington Post.

WikiLeaks claims the leak originated from within the CIA before being “lost” and circulated amongst “former U.S. government hackers and contractors.” From there the classified information was passed to WikiLeaks.

End-to-end encryption used by applications such as WhatsApp was revealed to be futile against the CIA’s hacking techniques, dubbed ‘zero days’, which were capable of accessing messages before encryption was applied

I'm not a paranoid person when it comes to being under surveillance by our government. I look at it as though, if your not really doing anything wrong then why worry but to have surveillance on such a mass level hmmm that is good only to a certain point until it becomes abused.

If it's true that only 1% has been released so far, wow do we have a lot to learn yet. I wonder if my Keurig Coffee maker is recording my crappy attitude before I get that first morning cup. Samsung TV's were listed as one of the TV's that is used to listen in on people. Ahhh.. anyone want to buy my Samsung TV? I also use a Samsung 32" Monitor for gaming lol. Well let's see what round two of WIKI brings us.

What is the job of government?

 

Enact and enforce laws, protect the people with a military and spy on us?

 

 

Yeah....no.

 

The wikidump is still password protected material so who knows what's really in there.  All I know is that it's going to be bad and worse than I can imagine.  The "Land of the Free" being spied on by it's own?  I'm pretty sure if we could time machine the Founding Fathers to here and now they be hanging people for treason.

 

Such a travesty.  1984...We're here.

I always put my webcam pointing to my hairy ass so if they spy me, they will get good material, also I dont think this is a huge problem, being under surveillance happens everywhere and in every country, for good and bad reasons, there are cameras all over the world, on streets, bars, discos, etc etc, you are under surveillance anyway, so just enjoy your life.

Snowden is quite a good guy for exposing them, but nothing much as chaned since then.
