      Another day of collective digging, more convinced. The WL release is nothingburger with lotta PR targeted at gullible media. Let me explain.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

      it has been overhyped, yes, but to claim it is a "nothingburger" is equally hyperbolic.

      The news is someone gave this to Wikileaks, sure. Anyhing else in there that is not mundane for Defcon?

      Particularly angry at the way it is scaring vulnerable people away from encryption.

      Yes agree that's a problem. But flipside is release leading to more secure internet; software/hardware patches being rolled out etc

      But that's not happening, not in a meaningful sense, because that's not how insecurity happens & the nature of the release.

      Stuff released is mostly older, mundane exploits. World drowning in these & *patches* do little since most phones not updated.

      It is plausible dumping exploits (even if fixed) makes most ordinary people (android users) less secure—though already so bad.

      I *am* for fixing things though I think solutions are most structural. But that would require good faith effort from WL.

      Instead of providing the cache, they could work with vendors, journalists to get accurate reporting and fixes. hahaha.

      Meanwhile, how many dissidents are scared away from encryption? I'm inundated. How many folks think CIA listening to their TV?

          This has been yet another WL-led media-gullibility fed disaster; losers are dissidents repressive regimes and ordinary people.
