Julian Assange was scheduled to present the leak today at a press conference he announced earlier yesterday. Unexpected issues with Assange's live streaming through the Facebook platform prompted him to proceed with an emergency plan, posting 8.700 confidential documents - despite the cancellation of the press conference.

The first leaks give us a confidential insight into the CIA tactics in global hacking and cybercrime.

The site reports about Vault 7:

"The first complete part of the series, 'Year Zero,' consists of 8.761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network located inside the CIA Cyber ​​Center. in Langley, Virginia.

In addition to the documents revealing the techniques used by the CIA for surveillance and theft from smartphones and other portable devices, the leaks appear to indicate that the agency has developed potentially lethal technologies that allow for remote control of both ground and aerial vehicles.
