New WikiLeaks Leak Claims Even Your TV Spyes on You

Julian Assange, name behind the WikiLeaks (and my namesake), released this Tuesday, 07/03, what can be considered the biggest leak of confidential documents in history, and that, like the work of Edward Snowden, It is related to CIA and it's a lot, very Black Mirror...

In total, more than one thousand 8 Leaked documents from the American intelligence agency were released, in an operation dubbed Vault7. To be more precise, exactly 8.761 documents were released, only in the first series, called “Year Zero”, and has a total of seven phases.

The data found in the documents comes from "an isolated, high-security network located at the CIA's Cyber ​​Intelligence Center in Langley, Virginia." If they are legitimate documents, they reveal shocking information about how the government, through its intelligence agency, used an entire arsenal of malicious software to spy on people through smartphones, Android, iOS e Windows, any type of computer, be it Windows ou Linux and even Samsung TVs.

All this equipment was infected with malware, viruses and trojans to exploit vulnerabilities and put “the eyes of the CIA” anywhere. Such tools manage to invade systems of telephone companies and even televisions and transform them into microphones, even managing to circumvent the manual shutdown of Smart TVs, for example. That is, you turn off your TV, making sure that the LED on stand-by is off and yet, she is still there working to spy on you, all of this, of course, without anyone knowing. The only way to escape would be to unplug it.

End-to-end encryption of the WhatsApp and encrypted servers telegram? None of this can stop the CIA. The spy agency uses other means to obtain their nudes data and conversations, without anyone noticing.

The purpose of the WikiLeaks in disclosing such data, as always, is to alert people to the power of government agencies to infiltrate online “privacy” and systems of the most diverse types that are considered safe.

As all information was released this morning, much is yet to be revealed. THE CIA preferred not to comment on the matter and that it will not discuss the veracity of the documents and the legitimacy of the leaked data.

As we know, the entire organization of the WikiLeaks is made by Julian Assange, as the movie showsThe Fifth Power“, which portrays the lonely life of the most controversial virtual activist of them all. Julian has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since June 2012, for fear of being extradited, and yet he continues his work. He said this leak is “exceptional from a legal, political and forensic point of view“. do you agree?

Wait for scenes from the next chapters of this “so Black Mirror” story… And answer us: how scary is it to know that the CIA is able to hack even your TV?
