      Only newsworthy part of #Vault7: *someone* hacked CIA's cache. Hacking CIA tools is news. Tools? Not really. Meh stuff. Interesting how meh.

      Device insecurity *is* a major problem. We should be up and arms about it. I've been writing about it for years. Few recommendations. +

      Use only iPhones or updated Androids (Google: Pixel, Nexus.). Other Androids are sitting duck. Hackers only have to sneeze in its direction.

      For private & secure communication, don't use SMS or Snapchat. Use only end-to-end encrypted apps, Signal, WhatsApp (note FB logs metadata).

      The "always on" listening devices like Alexa are essentially inviting the government into your home. Up to you, but decide accordingly.

      And dear journalists, after last year, I'd have hoped you'd learn not to jump onto the WL PR machine without investigating properly. le sigh

      Yes, social engineering & phishing are biggest threats to journos and activists. Not cyber James Bond wizardry.https://twitter.com/dr_motley/status/840183552662765569 …

      Exactly, all I saw in the release was that social engineering was the main thing to be worried about

      My wishlist: all cameras, microphones and wifi radios should have physical, hardware on-off switches. I would pay extra for such devices.

      Before Snowden revelations, there was so little encryption. Now it's widespread. We should now focus on device safety: demand off switches.

      @zeynep Am I correct that Twitter still doesn't allow you to disable SMS codes even though you can use an app?
