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

      If someone "leaked" calorie count of potato chips from a supermarket, is this the headline "WIKILEAKS REVEALS CALORIES CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN!"?

      This is what media has fallen for; even worse because the leaks show nothing new about encryption apps—maybe except their strength.

      CIA leaks are news in that: someone hacked the CIA. That's news. The content of the leaks? NOT A NEW THING REVEALED ABOUT ENCRYPTION APPS.

      If someone hacks your phone or reads over your shoulder, they can see your messages. On what planet has this JUST been revealed? A headline?

      Older, un-updated android phones are not secure. In infosec world, that is more mundane than saying the sky is blue. Reported endlessly!

      If you don't understand the infosec field, talk to experts before parroting Wikileaks, or making big, sensational claims about it all.

      Look, device insecurity is real. Lives are at stake. Most common threat is crude phishing. Like this.https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2017/03/azerbaijan-activists-targeted-by-government-sponsored-cyber-attack/ …

          So it is damaging to be parroting sensationalist claims & frameworks about perhaps the ONE thing (encryption) that got more widespread.

          So only newsworthy part of #Vault7 is that someone hacked the CIA. That's news. Rest: 1-not about encryption; 2-known; 3-misleading frame.

          social engineering and stupid inbox phishing. They'll never learn. Stop clicking on boner pill spam, or it'll keep coming.
