WikiLeaks, on Tuesday, released a thousands of paper files, accusing the CIA of employing software that can breach the android devices, iPhones, smart TVs, and Cars. Alleged CIA document ‘Vault 7’ by WikiLeaks also hints that the agency garners vulnerabilities into Android and iPhones devices and keeps them undisclosed so that they could continue to exploit these devices in future.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, on Thursday, said that his company will obscure further revelations about CIA’s hacking program till the tech giants Apple, Samsung and Google plug the holes and help them to do so.
“We have quite a lot of exploits … that we want to disarm before we think about publishing it,” Assange said at a press conference streamed on Periscope, “We’re going to work with some of these manufacturers to try and get these antidotes out there.”
His press conference was the little twist in the scenario that how our own devices are used by CIA to spy on us. The document indicates that how CIA break through – even the encrypted devices such as Smartphones and computers – by taking command of their operating systems.
