      For the NYT, I wrote the boring truth about latest CIA claims. Sorry—nothing sensational. Don't let media alarm you. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wikileaks-cia-cache.html …pic.twitter.com/SSuzB8qikz

      An accurate WL release would say: "CIA has underwhelming tools, many known, to laboriously hack phones one by one. Update your software!"

      An accurate story on protecting journalists or activists would highlight: update software. Use two-factor. Get a security key.

      The biggest danger is not fancy-pants CIA tools (they aren't even fancy pants). It's phishing. There is much you can do to protect yourself.

      that is completely inaccurate and extremely poor journalism. You are putting lives at risk because everyone has these tools now.

      Device insecurity is a major problem; I write about that all the time. Scaring people off Signal is wrong. Will add to thread.

      ...encryption apps completely vulnerable. The payloads also indicate when such apps are in the UI foreground. Thanks for retraction

      I write about device insecurity all the time; been doing it for years. Encryption apps are the wrong focus.

      is there any reason anyone can trust any encryption apps for secure communication when these UI key/draw hooks are prevalent in use?

      Use an iPhone, or if you are a high-value journalist use an iPod Touch with Signal and don't do anything else on it? Yeah.

          firstly, those are specific hardware platforms, and contrary to what you think about them see NIGHTSKIES and https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/index.html …

          USB installer! By the time CIA is inserting USB's into your devices, you are indeed toast. (They can drop mic in your home too).
