    WikiLeaks has published hundreds more files today which it claims show the CIA went to great lengths to disguise its own hacking attacks and point the finger at Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

    The 676 files released today are part of WikiLeaks' Vault 7 tranche of files and they claim to give an insight into the CIA's Marble software, which can forensically disguise viruses, trojans and hacking attacks.


    WikiLeaks says the source code suggests Marble has test examples in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi (the Iranian language).

    Always interesting to learn what tools our government has created to spy.

    Will this throw more fuel on the conspiracy theory fired floating around? Who provided Wikileaks's with this information? Is the CIA freaking out their secret information is being leaked? What are your thoughts?

    My thoughts are that democrats are the last persons I would entrust with sensitive materials. DNC IT contactors steeped in espionage, new reports of State Dept. Chinese opperatives, and Judicial Watch discovering Hillary, Huma, and associates maintained access to classified systems, files, and communications long after their departure are all cause for alarm. IMO all NSA / CIA data collection, and cyber activity should be suspended until such time as adherence to requisite security protocols can be confirmed by an independent review. Obamas willful dissemination of classified materials to low level staffers, illustrates the nessessity for intelligence oversight. Farcas is a national disgrace.

    But we don't know for a fact they spread classified information to low level staffer. If they did is there evidence it came from Obama himself or some other neoMarxist in his administration. We won't know until the investigations are completed. And we will probably never know the whole truth.

    As for the data collection, it's only going to get worse. The bill passed the other day allowing providers to sell data was simply a back door way into getting providers to track more information. This way the government can force them to turn it over.
