These people are maniacle sociopaths. Wikileaks is doing a live QnA regarding this new vault7 release that proves the CIA is, essentially, loading iPhones with malware that is able to spy on you, even after a factory reset.
But no, they were never spying on Trump. That’s going to far. These are good guys, right shitlibs?
Today, March 23rd 2017, WikiLeaks releases Vault 7 “Dark Matter”, which contains documentation for several CIA projects that infect Apple Mac Computer firmware (meaning the infection persists even if the operating system is re-installed) developed by the CIA’s Embedded Development Branch (EDB). These documents explain the techniques used by CIA to gain ‘persistence’ on Apple Mac devices, including Macs and iPhones and demonstrate their use of EFI/UEFI and firmware malware.
Among others, these documents reveal the “Sonic Screwdriver” project which, as explained by the CIA, is a “mechanism for executing code on peripheral devices while a Mac laptop or desktop is booting” allowing an attacker to boot its attack software for example from a USB stick “even when a firmware password is enabled”. The CIA’s “Sonic Screwdriver” infector is stored on the modified firmware of an Apple Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter.
“DarkSeaSkies” is “an implant that persists in the EFI firmware of an Apple MacBook Air computer” and consists of “DarkMatter”, “SeaPea” and “NightSkies”, respectively EFI, kernel-space and user-space implants.
Documents on the “Triton” MacOSX malware, its infector “Dark Mallet” and its EFI-persistent version “DerStake” are also included in this release. While the DerStake1.4 manual released today dates to 2013, other Vault 7 documents show that as of 2016 the CIA continues to rely on and update these systems and is working on the production of DerStarke2.0.
Also included in this release is the manual for the CIA’s “NightSkies 1.2” a “beacon/loader/implant tool” for the Apple iPhone. Noteworthy is that NightSkies had reached 1.2 by 2008, and is expressly designed to be physically installed onto factory fresh iPhones. i.e the CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.
While CIA assets are sometimes used to physically infect systems in the custody of a target it is likely that many CIA physical access attacks have infected the targeted organization’s supply chain including by interdicting mail orders and other shipments (opening, infecting, and resending) leaving the United States or otherwise.

Sounds like a great movie. Too bad it’s real.
The US Government appears to have lots of bad guys running it. I would like some good guys to show up now and save the day.
There are no good guys left in our government. Any where.
There’s nothing wrong with developing apps. What is wrong is Wikileaks disseminating the information, which is a targeted attempt to undermine CIA operations in foreign theaters. What is also wrong, Fly, is your feeble attempt to use these leaks as a basis to suspect that Trump “might” have been tapped, despite DOJ, the FBI, British Intelligence, and the NSA all say it didn’t happen. Your sycophantic fealty to the autocratic, white nationalist regime is only matched by your poor attempts at deductive reasoning.
So you’re perfectly ok with the concept of our government being able to control your devices?
Is that you, Podesta?
try infecting my Motorola V186 – no GPS, removable battery, great signal.
Done.
Signed, a Snowflake Bleeding Heart Liberal! The CIA needs its toys, baby, and the alt-right may eat my shit.
BTW I like $AUPH on weakness.
I’m gonna convert to a full-on retarded faux-liberal circa 2017 so I can be on the same team as the CIA, purveyors of freedom, liberty, peace, harmony, etc.
juice, would you like to receive some of our literature?
I would love some. Although I am not sure if you should address it to Mr. or Ms.? I am feeling genderless all of a sudden.
This is a common sentiment felt midway through gender reassignment procedure
with a handle like juice you might say you are gender fluid….woof woof
My intelligence team had to brief our board this morning on it. They were none too happy at all about this.
Liberalism=totalitarianism
The reason that is true is because totalitarianism is the only way to make bad ideas at least seem like they are working.
bollocks…Totalitarianism breeds on both sides of the spectrum- far right or far left
Mr “make a deal” Trump is a failure when he can’t bully everyone around him. Welcome to the checks and balances of a democratic government Mr Trump. He will accomplish nothing, 100+ days in with nothing to show for it but executive orders that get blocked by Federal judges. And he has a R majority! What a joke.

Is it too much to assume that in the future one may purchase a factory fresh phone in its pristine production?
Who in their right mind thinks any internet and cell services are confidential? It has never been.
Totes. Republicans/conservatives care a lot more about protecting your privacy/freedom than the libtards. Oh wait…http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/23/15026666/senate-broadband-privacy-rules-congressional-review-act-fcc-vote
On a related note, wtf are you doing putting any faith in Assange and his band of thieves? That’s like inviting Manson and his family over for dinner because they seem quirky and fun. Assange has proven beyond a doubt that he is extremely politicized and the furthest thing from a truth-seeker.
We put faith in Assange because he is showing us truth. Nothing more, nothing less.

EXACTLY!
Oh dear. There must have been some terrible mix up at the Chinese manufacturing plant and the company’s pristine products were substituted with Chinese totalitarian-grade survelliance devices! Mystery solved 🙂
