Yesterday we mentioned about it Wikileaks Vault 7 the latest leaks that reveal the hacking ικανότητες της CIA. Ένα από τα πολλά αξιοσημείωτα που μπορεί να κάνει η υπηρεσία είναι να προσπεράσει την κρυπτογράφηση που χρησιμοποιούν δημοφιλείς εφαρμογές ανταλλαγής μηνυμάτων, όπως η WhatsApp και η Signal.
So everyone who uses the applications WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Weibo, Confide ή Cloackman and believe their messages are encrypted will rather be disappointed as the leak indicates that the encryption layers they use can be circumvented by the techniques developed by the CIA.
According to the files released by Wikileaks, the CIA has special teams that work only to create malware with the intention of taking control of devices not only iPhones and Android but also in many others.
These teams use zero-day vulnerabilities found in operating systems, and they are constantly developing malware that can be used to bypass any encryption layers, messaging applications, and more.
WikiLeaks reports that CIA hacking tools and malware were developed by Engineering Development Group (EDG), a software development group in the Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), which is a division of the Directorate for Digital Innovation (DDI) and is located within the CIA.
EDG develops, tests and offers operational support for all backdoors, exploits, malware, trojans, virus και κάθε άλλου είδους κακόβουλο λογισμικό που δημιουργήθηκαν από τη CIA και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν σε μυστικές businesses her.
Another part of the CIA is Mobile Devices Branch, which has developed many remote attack methods targeting popular smartphones.
So CIA can have user geolocation, audio and text communications. The secret service can also secretly activate the phone's camera and microphone and generally use the device as a spy tool.
The CIA is reported to have created special sections working to find ways to bypass Android and iOS security. The iOS branch has created malicious software that can infect, control, and extract data from iPhones, iPads, and more. Similarly, the Android section has been able to turn Android into zero-day spy devices that have either been deployed within the CIA or borrowed from the British GCHQ, the NSA or bought by zero day marketing companies.
