      After a decade+, it is pretty clear, the only actual progress in security is made by proper architecture and updates. iOS, Chromebook.

      There are so many Android exploits out there, and so few phones are updated even after exploits are fixed for that it is basically an ocean.

      Wikileaks CIA cache is a small set of (mundane, unsurprising and thus not newsworthy) tools to fish in that ocean. Problem is the ocean.

      One bright spot in that ocean? End-to-end encryption. Cache confirms strength. The ONE THING Wikileaks attacked and media jumped on. aargh 🤔

      I remain concerned about journalists and dissident security. I understand some security issues can appear counterintuitive. Complex space.

      This release didn't help anything and likely hurt a good deal—media gullibility helping along—by fostering confusion about encryption.

      A few bugs patched? I wish that were an actual fix. There are actual fixes, some things are getting better. *This* is distraction to worse.

      Meanwhile, for practical advice, see this thread. Update software. Use U2F security keys. Avoid non-Google Androids.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/840176287054467072 …

      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

      If there was a shred of honest concern, they would work with journalists and security researchers. Not PR campaigns. https://twitter.com/FutureWelcomes/status/840568227562426368 …

      How it works. Also note diff:. iPhone 0day will get fixed. Android exploit publicized just means more exploiters. https://twitter.com/ncweaver/status/840564568527065088 …

      To end, two things. I've been warning about state mass surveillance before Snowden. I've been writing about device insecurity for years.

          Unfortunately, most people in media don't understand the infosec space and there are many snake oil sellers—beltway bandits to Wikileaks.

          This issue is made worse by the fact that some of the more competent people are "grayhat." Nature of the space, its incentives.

          This is why I follow you. Fantastic Work. But your hysteria over WL is irrational.
