WikiLeaks documents reveal CIA agents were given cover identities and diplomatic passports to enter the country. The base was used to develop hacking tools as part of the CIA's massive digital arsenal. WikiLeaks released a trove of CIA documents on Tuesday that it claimed revealed details of its secret hacking arsenal.
Germany fears election cyberattacks Symbolbild Multimedia Auge Cyberwar (Fotolia/Kobes) The release included 8,761 documents that it claimed revealed details of "malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized 'zero day' exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation." The leaks purportedly revealed that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East. Frankfurt base.
WikiLeaks reported that the group developed trojans and other malicious software in the American Consulate General Office, the largest US consulate in the world. The programs focused on targets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The documents revealed that CIA experts worked in the building under cover and included advice for life in Germany. "Do not leave anything electronic or sensitive unattended in your room," it told employees, also advising them to enjoy Lufthansa's free alcohol "in moderation."
The Frankfurt hackers, part of the Center for Cyber Intelligence Europe, were said to be given diplomatic passports and a State Department identity. It instructed employees how to safely enter Germany. A WikiLeaks tweet published an section of the Frankfurt information.
The consulate was the focus of a German investigation into US intelligence capabilities following the 2013 revelation that NSA agents had tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone. German daily "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported the building was known to be home to a vast network of intelligence personnel including CIA agents, NSA spies, military secret service personnel, Department of Homeland Security employees and Secret Service employees. It reported the Americans had also established a dense network of outposts and shell companies in Frankfurt. Televisions turned into bugs
An intelligence expert who examined the dump, Rendition Infosec founder Jake Williams, told news agency Associated Press the documents appeared legitimate.
Bob Ayers, a retired US intelligence official currently working as a security analyst told AP the release was "real bad" for the agency. Jonathan Liu, a spokesman for the CIA, told AP: "We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents." According to WikiLeaks the documents revealed that the CIA could remotely activate certain Samsung smart televisions equipped with cameras and microphones to turn them into bugs. Smartphones hacked.
WikiLeaks also claimed that if the CIA had hacked a cell phone, it could then bypass encryption methods used by popular chat programs such as Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal and Confide. This prompted some concern at first online that all such messaging "Apps" were no longer effectively encrypted - but the exploit only applied to people whose phones are already compromised. According to the leaks, the CIA has undocumented exploits on popular smartphone models. In a series of tweets NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said deliberately leaving vulnerabilities in software and hardware open left public users susceptible to attacks.
Last night, for the first time, we reached 10 Terabits per second peak traffic at DE-CIX Frankfurt.
We cannot say for sure what caused the peak (might be a combination of the Champions League, the US election, software upgrades, lockdown in Germany), but the traffic developments this year have been extraordinary due to the unpreceded situation we are living in. When we hit 8.3 Tbps in February, we predicted that we would reach 9 Tbps towards the end of the year. Instead, we exceeded that mark a mere two weeks later. And now we are at 10 Tbps – and what is usually the peak season in winter when people spend more time indoors is just around the corner.

Consistent with Amazon Prime doc The Plot Against the President.
See above.
Did you see Gomert’s speech today? Wow.
I’m wondering if he was bluffing. I hope so!
Please elaborate. When did he speaking what did he say?
Wow.
He was talking about the servers being confiscated. Said he warned Trump about them but they were on an unsecured line.
If I find a vid...I’ll link it.
Thank you for posting!
At today’s Trump rally in DC.
Then I would think Richard Grenell knows all about this. Perhaps he's told President Trump.
Are you assuming the CIA was in on the voter fraud?

DOMINION.
“We began to look and realized how easy it is to change votes.”
Election security expert @RussRamsland has performed many investigations on US election machines.
The most *shocking* thing about this interview is it took place just days BEFORE the election.
Votes go to Germany. This was stated BEFORE the election.
Whoever hacked it was part of a coordinated plan.
We’ve seen every state elections official say ‘no problem; was cleanest election ever.” We’ve seen DHS say that.
The day after the election I happened to flip by NBC News and they said - this is the day after, still early when Trump was up — said, “Official says there’s no sigh of foreign interference and it was a clean election.”
I thought, “Uh oh! The fix is in.”
Four years of ‘Russian hacking’ and now this? Sure enough. The fix was in.
Have you ever seen an ex-CIA head go out and bash a POTUS shortly before and now after an election like Brennan did?
When someone calls the FBI to complain about criminal fraud they aren’t called back.
The USPS sends out an investigator with an agenda to get a whistleblower to recant and intimidate (on tape and out thanks to Veritas).
Could be a foreign power (state or major corporations) but sure seems like the footprints of a U.S. intelligence agency.
Flashback: Frankfurt was used as a bomb dumping site by returning allied bombers in WWII. Just as relevant.
Pretty disgusting bunch of crooks.
It would be nice if you could provide the data base you got that from and the search terms you used so that people can replicate you methods.
p
Now if it was a CIA server farm in our consulate the it could then be possible for the US Military to be ordered to seize with no repercussions, I would explain the purge at the Pentagon and the CIA visit to Mitch office. Thats far more believable theory
Yes, Hespel was showing Mitch “the instruments of torture!”
