Wikileaks says it has published CIA hacking codes
According to USA TODAY, WikiLeaks published thousands of documents Tuesday it described as the CIA's hacking arsenal in what the website called the "largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency."
Wikileaks said the document dump from the CIA Center for Cyber Intelligence represents a new series of leaks it had code-named "Vault 7." The website says the CIA "lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal," more than several hundred million lines of code, providing "the entire hacking capacity of the CIA."
The CIA did not immediately return a call for comment from USA TODAY.
Wikileaks has conducted a global crusade to expose government secrets through a series of controversial document dumps in recent years. One led to the imprisonment of Chelsea Manning, who has spent six years behind bars or leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents through the WikiLeaks website.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he has been accused of sexual assault, and the United States, where he fears possible espionage charges.
