Vault 7 is a series of documents that wikileaks began to publish on 7 march 2017, detailing the activities and capabilities of the united states central intelligence agency (cia) to perform electronic surveillance and cyber warfare. Are they real and are they a risk? Wikileaksβ latest release details what it claims is the ciaβs hacking activities, including compromising phones, tvs, cars and becoming an nsa with less accountability.
Wikileaks claimed that the trove of cia information it had obtained, which it called vault 7, included βseveral hundred million lines of codeβ, including many of the agencyβs cyber weapons. Such disclosures not only jeopardize u.s. But wikileaks, which released the documents, has called it the largest release of confidential cia intelligence documents ever.
