"Year Zero" shows that as of 2016 the CIA had 24 "weaponized" Android
"zero days" which it has developed itself and obtained from GCHQ, NSA
and cyber arms contractors.

These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp,
Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the "smart"
phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic
before encryption is applied.

CIA malware targets Windows, OSx, Linux, routers

The CIA also runs a very substantial effort to infect and control
Microsoft Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local
and remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such as
"Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on CD/DVDs,
infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide data in
images or in covert disk areas ( "Brutal Kangaroo") and to keep its
malware infestations going.

Hold on to your kernels mates, we goin for a ride :)
