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.
