WikiLeaks CIA files: The 6 biggest spying secrets revealed by the release of
'Vault 7'
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/wikileaks-cia-files-6-biggest-172200709.html
Here are six of the biggest secrets and pieces of information yet to emerge
from the huge dump.
1) The CIA has the ability to break into Android and iPhone handsets, and
all kinds of computers
The US intelligence agency has been involved in a concerted effort to write
various kinds of malware to spy on just about every piece of electronic
equipment that people use. That includes iPhones, Androids and computers
running Windows, macOS and Linux.
If that software is as powerful as WikiLeaks claims, it could be used to
remotely control those devices and switch them on and off. Once that
happened, a vast array of data would be made available – including users'
locations, messages they had sent, and potentially everything heard by the
microphone or seen by the camera.
2) Doing so would make apps like Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp entirely
insecure
Encrypted messaging apps are only as secure as the device they are used on
– if an operating system is compromised, then the messages can be read
before they encrypted and sent to the other user. WikiLeaks claims that has
happened, potentially meaning that messages have been compromised even if
all of the usual precautions had been taken.
3) The CIA could use smart TVs to listen in on conversations that happened
around them
One of the most eye-catching programmes detailed in the documents is "
Weeping Angel". That allows intelligence agencies to install special
software that allows TVs to be turned into listening devices – so that even
when they appear to be switched off, they're actually on.
That's just one of the technologies created by the Embedded Devices Branch,
the CIA division at the centre of much of the leaks of new information.
4) The agency explored hacking into cars and crashing them, allowing 'nearly
undetectable assassinations'
Many of the documents reference tools that appear to have dangerous and
unknown uses. One file, for instance, shows that the CIA were looking into
ways of remotely controlling cars and vans by hacking into them.
"The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA
to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations," WikiLeaks notes, in an
unproven piece of speculation.
5) The CIA hid vulnerabilities that could be used by hackers from other
countries or governments
WikiLeaks claims that its source handed over the documents in order to
provoke a debate about the power of intelligence agencies and how their
information should be exposed. Perhaps central to that is the accusation
that the CIA was "hoarding" exploits that it had found – rather than
handing them over to the companies that could fix them, and so make users
safe, as they had promised to do.
Such bugs were found in the biggest consumer electronics in the world,
including phones and computers made Apple, Google and Microsoft. But those
companies didn't get the chance to fix those exploits because the agency
kept them secret in order to keep using them, the documents suggest.
"Serious vulnerabilities not disclosed to the manufacturers places huge
swathes of the population and critical infrastructure at risk to foreign
intelligence or cyber criminals who independently discover or hear rumors of
the vulnerability," a WikiLeaks statement read. "If the CIA can discover
such vulnerabilities so can others."
WikiLeaks noted that those unfixed exploits affected everyone using the
equipment, including "the U.S. Cabinet, Congress, top CEOs, system
administrators, security officers and engineers".
6) More information is coming
The documents have still not been looked through entirely. There are 8,378
pages of files, some of which have already been analysed but many of which
hasn't.
The files are being shared publicly on the WikiLeaks website and the
organisation has encouraged its supporters to keep looking through the
documents in the hope of finding more stories. | D***3
