      Oversight of spying & surveillance capabilities of nations & others is a crucial topic. Important. All the more reason to be right, precise.

      Good article explaining the fine points of the latest dump: https://medium.com/@thetarah/lets-all-calm-down-now-the-wikileaks-cia-infodump-isn-t-bigger-than-snowden-50050bcb0580#.34o5lwg9u …pic.twitter.com/u4epFkrJdR

      Yes. Wikileaks does just this & it works. Passed off random email lists as "Turkey AKP emails"—it worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/839204691305181184 …

      Seeing a few corrections but the misinformation is out there—goal of confusion accomplished. The CIA dump doesn't show what is reported.

      Internet connected devices are notoriously insecure. Iphones are toughest. Non-Google android phones are a joke. Encryption appers unbroken.

      All known issues; but even those don't mean it's all remotely doable. Dump doesn't mention Signal/Whatsapp. Straight up WL misinformation.

      Reporters kept parroting their "press releases" in rush to scoop. Still haven't learned. They are not reliable. https://twitter.com/mgerrydoyle/status/839484010472431616 …

      That someone released a CIA dump now is newsworthy. The intel agency collects ways to hack. Technically, no surprises yet. Misleading PR.

      Lack of staff; rush; gullibility; sensational claims get clicks. As of now, mundane tech. No encryption breaking.https://twitter.com/flanwire/status/839485843580600320 …

      Is this partially due to a lack of technical staff/resources available for journos to parse these dumps?

      CIA methods dumped are not distinguishable, as far as I have seen yet, from stuff shown at regular open conferences. No oh wow magic yet.

      IP device insecurity & state surveillance are important. I write about it all the time. But reporting the opposite of truth isn't conducive.

          And this is the truth. Update your software; use two factor. Phishing is what actually gets used.https://twitter.com/runasand/status/839473621978464259 …
