      Larger lesson of today’s trove of (alleged) CIA hacking tools? Large software systems often have exploitable bugs, as everyone already knew.

      Security nuance alert: All sorts misleading reporting about implications of CIA hacking tools today. (1/)

      First, this appears to be about tools that target selected end users by compromising their phones, not that break the crypto generally. (2/)

      Apps (like Signal) depend not only on their own code for security, but on the platforms they run on (like iOS or Android). (3/)

      A weakness in EITHER the app itself OR the platform may be sufficient for an adversary to target a user and get their messages. (4/)

      Which means that if the CIA finds exploitable flaws in iOS/Android, ANY app (like Signal) running there might be able to be compromised (5/)

      The trove released today seems to be mostly about exploiting platforms. That’s both bad news and good news for users. (6/)

      The bad news is that platform exploits are very powerful. The good news is that they have to target you in order to read your messages. (7/)

      These kinds of exploits don’t just let them read everyone’s traffic over the ‘net at the push of a button. (8/)

          What can you do as a user to defend? Boring stuff. Keep your software up to date. Don’t run unneeded apps. Don’t become a CIA target. (9/9).

          im pretty sure if they compromise enough platforms then getting messaging crypto won't be too tough.

          Pretty obvious leak timing is to allow InfoWars-types to think "smoking un on Obama wiretap!"
