What do you need to know about this release? I'll tell you. Thank you for joining me on the thirty-third episode of The LAVA Spurt, CIA's Vault 7. And, make sure to hang out to the end of this episode for your chance to win a prize pack!
CIA's Vault 7
A total of 8,761 documents have been published as part of ‘Year Zero’, the first in a series of leaks the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks has dubbed ‘Vault 7.’ WikiLeaks said that ‘Year Zero’ revealed details of the CIA’s “global covert hacking program,” including “weaponized exploits” used against company products including “Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.” These documents cover a period of years between 2013 and 2016. WikiLeaks claims that this is the largest intelligence publication in history.
WikiLeaks tweeted the leak, which it claims came from a network inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia.
Among the more notable disclosures which, if confirmed, “would rock the technology world“, the CIA has managed to bypass the encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram. According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect “audio and message traffic before encryption is ever applied.”
