This is so bad, CIA creates hacking tools that probably are cutting edge. But their management and security sucks so bad they lose the tools to who knows who, and ultimately to Wikileaks.

Who’s faults is this? Wikileaks?? No It’s the CIA’s fault, 100%.

What if they were sold to level the playing field. That would be something obozo would like and encourage.

Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner.

And what will those who now have this arsenal be able to do with it? They now have the hacking capacity of the CIA.

Well, I doubt that’s the way it works. I think the U.S intelligence services ‘procure’ the tools as they discover them and the hacker behind it.

I have doubts about our cyber security team and doubts that the behemoth of bureaucracy is cable of development such tools.

Take stuxnet for example. The virus that took out millions of dollars worth of equipment the Iranians were using to develop nuclear materials and technology was largely believed to have been written by the U.S cyber command — probably wasn’t. It was probably written for the U.S by Siemens and arranged by the German Intelligence with the blessings of both administrations.

This is what happens when your spy agencies are run by political appointees selected on the basis of identity politics and leftist/globalist/muslim ideology and then ordered to focus on green light bulbs and such rather than mundane matters such as security of the family jewels.

What if the purpose of the easy hackability is to provide information to the enemy bloc, or to deliberately defang the U.S.?
