I BELIEVE IN STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Reportedly, this is a new standard in hosed.

quote:

Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.

quote:

By the end of 2016, the CIA's hacking division, which formally falls under the agency's Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), had over 5000 registered users and had produced more than a thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses, and other "weaponized" malware. Such is the scale of the CIA's undertaking that by 2016, its hackers had utilized more code than that used to run Facebook. The CIA had created, in effect, its "own NSA" with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified.

And then listing enough zero-day compromised poo poo to encompass almost everything on the planet

""""Christopher" "Steele" is still alive

Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele, who produced Donald Trump Russian dossier, breaks his silence

quote:

Speaking outside his firm's offices in Belgravia, he told the Press Association: "I'm really pleased to be back here working again at the Orbis's offices in London today.

"I'm now going to be focusing my efforts on supporting the broader interests of our company here.
"I'd like to say a warm thank you to everyone who sent me kind messages and support over the last few weeks.

"Just to add, I won't be making any further statements or comments at this time."

@SwiftonSecurity seems to think this Vault 7 thing is being massively overblown, partially due to the work of botnets and Wikileaks' overt sensationalism. It might not be real, or if it is, it might not be as big of a thing as Wikileaks is making it out to be. Either way, someday we're all gonna die.

edit: the main issue is less with the content and more with the timing. Trump's very much on the defense, and now all of this CIA poo poo comes out.

The Republican healthcare bill is basically dead. Republican senators are running away screaming, conservative groups are saying hell no, and nobody can make a coherent argument for the bill.

Also, right-wing media wants it to go away too.

This actually gives me hope. If the Republicans are too busy fighting each other over this, maybe ACA will last for a little while longer.

No pretty much none, it's generally from people I worked with when I was in IT years ago. Honestly I used to feel pretty much the same but as I've gotten older I've more or less come to accept that the status quo, as imperfect as it is, is a drat sight better than living in an autocratic society.
You take the least bad, I guess. :shrug:

You want a good primer on Russian history, watch Russian Ark. Besides being an absolutely beautiful film, you really get a sense of the sheer awful weight of centuries of monarchs and dictators, and the strange love/hate relationship a country with 11 time zones has with whatever strong man can unite them.
