WikiLeaks revealed a shocking number of alleged classified documents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It appears that the CIA has been using a wide range of tools in order to spy on individuals.
In a recent press release issued by WikiLeaks, the CIA uses hacking arsenal including Trojans, malware, malware control systems, viruses, weaponized "zero day" exploits, and associated documentation, but it lost control. The extraordinary collection amounting to more than hundred million gives CIA the entire hacking capacity.
According to a report in BGR, CIA can track people through their computers, smartphones, cars, and even smart TVS. The documents revealed how the CIA took advantage of the vulnerabilities of software in iOS, android, macOS, Windows, Wi-Fi routers, smart TVs, and many more so that these device owners can easily be tracked.
Security experts are currently analyzing the latest leak, but many users are already concerned about the issue. There are already millions of Android users that are exposed with security risks, although Google is starting to patch them.
Apple responded that it already patched many of the exploits specified in the CIA files. Although it is partly good news for iOS users, it is worth noting that not all of the vulnerabilities have been addressed by the company.
On the other hand, Google started checking the WikiLeaks dump in order to address all the exposed vulnerabilities. The document detailed that the only target is Android 4.4 and earlier versions users. It means that there are hundreds of millions who are at risk, given the fact that there are 33.4 percent active Android devices.
