The CIA is also trying to determine if there are other unpublished documents WikiLeaks may have. The documents published so far are largely genuine, officials said, though they are not yet certain if all of them are and whether some of the documents may have been altered. One of the biggest concerns for the federal government is if WikiLeaks publishes critical computer code on how operations are conducted, other hackers could take that code and cause havoc overseas.
This focus on WikiLeaks is fucking hilarious. According to the WikiLeaks press release:[0] | Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking | arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero | day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated | documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to | more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its | possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive | appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government | hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom | has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive. They have no clue who already has the full archive, and what they've done with it. Someone ought to do a retrospective study. 0) https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/ <SNIP>
