The first leaks give us a confidential insight into the CIA tactics in global hacking and cybercrime.
Η by clicking here states 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 Intelligence Center in Langley, Virginia. It contains revelations when the CIA targeted French political parties and candidates on their way to the 2012 presidential election.
Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its arsenal for hacking, including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, remote connection malware, and related documentation. This excellent collection, which amounts to several hundred million lines of code, gives its owner all the CIA hacking power. ”

"Year Zero" shows the scope and direction of CIA global hacking, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero days" used against a wide range of American and European products. Apple iPhone, Google Android and Microsoft Windows and even Samsung TVs are turning into disguised microphones.
In addition to the documents revealing the techniques used by the CIA to control and steal data from smartphones and other mobile devices, leaks appear to indicate that the service has developed potentially lethal technologies that allow remote control of both land and air vehicles. We should also mention control on medical devices.
The volume of documents that they leaked from Vault 7 already exceeds the first three years of Edward Snowden's NSA leaks.
Information from the period between 2013 and 2016 is revealed, and the first part focuses on recent events.
Let's remind that all Wikileaks' claims should be checked by experts to see if they are right.
