[Arntonach]

The CIA is stepping up their game.

pretty cool imo, governments deserve their own (what I assume is a) super hitech underground base. probably with lasers and shit, yeah that would be coooooooooooooooooool

inb4 I'm a corporate shill who can't read for himself

I'm going to wait for news coverage on this and how this is actually significant

even /pol/ was pretty hesitant that this was going to be nothing of value

edit: don't ask me why I was on /pol/, it's a fucking disaster area

I've only started reading an hour ago, but it's mainly just outlining the hacking capabilities of the CIA's CCI(cyber intelligence) branch and the kinds of surveillance they are capable of, which include total android surveillance bypassing your encrypted method of communication, as well as attempts towards infecting vehicle control systems in efforts to remotely control modern cars.

Most interesting thing I've come across is the discovery that the entire US consulate in Frankfurt is nothing more than an undercover CIA/CCI base. The leak even shows documents with line by line instructions on how to get past german security, which hotels to stay at, and what to say at the consulate upon your arrival so that you can get directed to your point of contact.

I hadn't heard about the leak until I saw this thread (tapatalk notified me before the news did &#128517 so I googled Vault 7 leak expecting to see photos of a badass government lair.. Lmao still slightly disappointed

So I found out about weeping angels and now I'm worried that the 4k smart tv I got my mom for her birthday last year might have to be sold for privacy reasons. D:

Also who the fuck named one of the exploits dugtrio?

[Untimely Friction]

You should do some research deper into this and ask yourself 1 question

"Do I regularily discuss anti-government topics in front of my smart tv", if the answers no you have nothing to worry about from the CIA at least.

HOWEVER< other documents show there was a period that the CIA lost control of their malware and zero day colleections, meaning a copy of those tools exist that give people the entire power of the CIA's hacking arsenal, so lots of that will prolly be fixed but truthfully these toools may already have been very out there and you may be infected with stuff, it's hard to know NOW NOW, but I bet we'll know in a week or two.

tl;dr atro unless you wanna be a terrorist dont worry much, you're not at "risk"

Relevant information showed up in my youtube subscriptions, might clear the picture a little bit for the people not wanting to read through what is available right now.

if we're talking about american new outlets you're neither not going to get any information or they're going to say, slyly, that the leaks are racist
