Maybe somebody with more background in techie stuff can understand all the in's and out's...to me it appears Langley is wanting to become the real life version of SkyNet...it has the drones, the weapons...it just needs all the data...and it appears they do...seems like any device can be turned into a Robo-Spy.
Yeah, swell...things like this never end badly...right?
Libertas:
Isn't this interesting?!
Snowden 2.0?
In a statement to WikiLeaks the source details policy questions that they say urgently need to be debated in public, including whether the CIA's hacking capabilities exceed its mandated powers and the problem of public oversight of the agency. The source wishes to initiate a public debate about the security, creation, use, proliferation and democratic control of cyberweapons.
Also cars, suggesting that the CIA may have a role in the death of Michael Hastings:
As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks.
The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.
Examples of CIA projects
Umbrage: The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation. With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

IIRC there was a general understanding back when this first broke how easily digital "fingerprints" can be forged...
By golly we got the best statist government extorted taxpayer funds can provide I tell you what!

I'm not that worried about my burner phone but I am concerned about my Samsung tv; it's hooked up to cable and the ROKU but not the internet.
IronDioPriest:
So with this "misdirection" malware, the CIA could hack into systems and make it look like the Russians did it. The implications are earth-shattering. It would mean that the CIA has potentially been behind the entire "Russia" scandal, and that under Obama, the CIA was weaponized against the Trump campaign, and ostensibly against any other enemy of the Leftists.
We already know that Obama weaponized agencies. The IRS, the Department of Justice, the EPA...
I so desperately want that sonofabitch to get taken down.
Glock32:
Even worse would be to manufacture the pretext for a war. Note how WWII started with a simulated attack on a German radio station by the Poles, voila, Hitler had his cassus belli.
I think when all is said and done, it is going to be apparent that entire agencies will have to be dissolved.
