[quote]March 8 2017 - 8:10AM Craig Timberg, Ellen Nakashima and Elizabeth Dwoskin The latest revelations about the US government's powerful hacking tools potentially takes surveillance right into the homes and hip pockets of billions of users worldwide, showing how a remarkable variety of every day devices can be turned to spy on their owners. Televisions, smartphones and internet-connected vehicles are all vulnerable to CIA hacking, according to the Wikileaks documents released overnight. The capabilities described include recording the sounds, images and the private text messages of users, even when they use encrypted apps to communicate. Vehicles, meanwhile, are vulnerable to a remote hacker gaining control, allowing "nearly undetectable assassinations."[/quote] [quote]"This is explosive," said Jake Williams, founder of Rendition Infosec, a cybersecurity firm. The material highlights specific antivirus products that can be defeated, going further than a release of NSA hacking tools last year, he said. The CIA hackers, according to WikiLeaks, even "discussed what the NSA's ... hackers did wrong and how the CIA's malware makers could avoid similar exposure."[/quote] [quote]One internal CIA document listed a set of Apple iPhone "exploits" — or tools that can be used to compromise the device by taking advantage of software flaws. Some of the tools are based on "zero-days," which are software vulnerabilities that have not been shared with the manufacturer. So "some of these descriptions will allow Apple to fix the vulnerabilities," Weaver said. "But at the same time, they're out in the public and whoever stole this data could use them against U.S. interests."[/quote] TL;DR: Wikileaks has dumped information claiming the CIA have been spying on people under the code name 'weeping angel' using internet connected cars, tv's and phones even when off Even Snowden is claiming the documents look accurate and the CIA had refused to comment. While this isn't surprise it's a disgusting breach of privacy not listed in any terms and conditions. Good on Wikileaks.
