ALF Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 FBI's specialized mole-hunting team deployed to catch CIA leaker Less than 24 hours after WikiLeaks published what it described as the “entire hacking capacity of the CIA,” a federal criminal probe by a specialized FBI unit has begun, Fox News confirmed. "Potentially even more concerning, Keeley added, is the fact that “it wasn't just documents and data that was stolen, it was actual software and that’s a much bigger deal… If you're someone using things like Google Chrome or McAfee anti-virus software on your devices, this hack is potentially the keys to that kingdom. And once the bad guys can access that, it's going to be very difficult to shut that door.” http://www.foxnews.c...cia-leaker.html

The documents make clear CIA itself released these tools into the wild, they were NOT stolen. That's why this release is so damning. The agency purposefully withheld informing companies of vulnerabilities in US products (and in some cases coerced companies to keep the holes open) while simultaneously keeping their tool kit unclassified so they could share it with private contractors and other state actors. That should outrage everyone with an electronic device in their home or pocket. The CIA purposefully lost control of it's cyber weapon arsenal and purposefully exposed every single American with a smart phone or computer or tablet to not just CIA and the US IC's spying, but every other nation and bad actor out there. Wikileaks did not release the tools and is (allegedly) waiting to do so until they work with the service providers to patch the holes. It's been floated, and is worth considering, that if JA was really taken off the board in October and WL has been compromised by CIA or another western agency, that the vault 7 release could be deliberate on the part of CIA specifically to mask the fact they "lost control" of their cyber weapons.

What's NOT normal is for the AG to have to request their resignations.

I'm a little concerned, frankly, if those docs do actually describe the CIA'S entire surveillance repertoire. A lot of it seems pretty basic and frankly outdated from what I can tell.
