The CIA knows how to hack TVs and phones, and the agency's cyberweapons have been stolen, a WikiLeaks document dump alleges.
The CIA has become the preeminent hacking operation, spying on people worldwide, according to WikiLeaks’ publication Tuesday of leaked internal documents.
To hide its operations, the CIA routinely adopted hacking techniques that enabled them to appear as if they were hackers in Russia, WikiLeaks said.
But nearly all of the CIA's arsenal of privacy-crushing cyberweapons have been stolen, WikiLeaks said, and the tools are potentially in the hands of criminals and foreign spies.
