Yikes! Are you saying they had nothing to do with surveillance? ... or that they were the means of tapping an iphone or Mac?
Now that I look at those pages they don't seem to be what I thought they were. I slept 11 hours last night (!!!) and seemed out of focus all day. I think that was the only post I did all day and I thought they dealt with a surveillance effort by the 0bama Admin. Now that I look at them I don't know what they say. They were accessed by a post on a website - American something. That was from my desktop files and I am on my tablet right now. I guess those WikiLeaks links were part of the surveillance access or something. As I say, I was out to sea in the Horse Latitudes, I think. :^) Thanks.
They did use some of this stuff. We know they used it on Angela Markel. But they have to either intercept the iPhone/iPad being shipped to the target or get to it surreptitiously to install the firmware changes (which won’t survive a firmware update) and/or install special hardware and other malicious spy apps to run unnoticed in the background. They can’t be remotely installed, but once they’ve got their stuff on it by physical means, they’ve got some control to do such things.
