"Theories About Vault 7 Range from the CIA to 9/11 to Clinton Emails And Even a 'Shadow Government'

There are so many theories about Vault 7, it's hard to keep track."

The phase phrase is out - SplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds

ooooo, it's about the CIA

QuoteToday, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.
The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.

Will "someone" please download it, read it and summarize it in one paragraph for me

It's all of the CIA's toys!

>>>> It's all of the CIA's toys!

I have those already  

Hmm.   

Trump tweets that CIA under Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.

Director of National Intelligence dressed Trump down, telling him to withdraw wiretap claims because they were bullshit.

Wikileaks comes out with reports saying that CIA has too much power.

Edward Snowden is living in Russia, and, in the past has had his lodging paid for by Wikileaks.

Did the CIA deliberately mimic Russian hacking protocols?
March 7, 2017


This morning, WikiLeaks released their Vault 7 dump. They describe it as "the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency".

These leaks reveals an internal group within the CIA called UMBRAGE, which maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects, the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types, but also misdirect attribution by leaving the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

UMBRAGE components cover keyloggers, password collection, webcam capture, data destruction, persistence, privilege escalation, stealth, anti-virus (PSP) avoidance, and survey techniques.

Love the name tho.... a bit of Dr Who nostalgia

QuoteAnother program described in the documents, named Umbrage, is a voluminous library of cyberattack techniques that the C.I.A. has collected from malware produced by other countries, including Russia. According to the WikiLeaks release, the large number of techniques allows the C.I.A. to mask the origin of some of its cyberattacks and confuse forensic investigators.

This raises so many interesting questions. It's known that the FBI and DHS were very pro-Trump in the rank and file. I haven't seen anything about the CIA, but I would guess there was a lot of Trump support in the rank and file. It raises the specter that elements within the CIA itself released the DNC emails in an attempt to throw the election, which is a far, far scarier proposition than Russian hacking.

I find that unlikely, but possible.

So it's become a real spy game and there are now so many possibilities

1. The Russian govt hacked the DNC and tried to throw the election and the CIA has direct human intelligence that supports this.

2. Someone hacked into the emails and the CIA has no human intelligence, but believes nobody else can fake those signatures.

3. Someone hacked into the emails and the CIA has no human intelligence and knows that other people can fake those signatures, but is worried about Trump ties to Russia and is running a propaganda war against Trump and Russia

4. Elements within the CIA hacked those emails and released them to hurt Clinton, but then other elements realized that Trump was unstable and decided to try to hurt him.

5. The same people who hacked the emails to hurt Clinton masked the hack as Russian, knowing that if the election went their way, they could then use the Russian angle against Trump, because the CIA hated both candidates and wanted to neutralize the effectiveness of either one once they got in office.

6. And 50 other variations of a feint within a feint within a feint.

I see a Church Committee coming before the end of this administration. It's been 41 years, which is too long.
