Security experts react to Wikileaks' CIA dump with a "meh"

[Ted Frazier]

Wikileaks' recent document dump revealing that the CIA can hack stuff prompted this comment by security experts:

"But security experts are urging tech consumers to keep calm and take a few simple precautions. The document dump reveals nothing terribly new or surprising in technical terms, the experts say. Mobile spy tools have been around for years.

"That the CIA hacks is like saying water is wet -- it's them doing their job," said Nicholas Weaver, senior researcher with the International Computer Science Institute at the University of California, Berkeley."

WikiLeaks' CIA hacking claims: How worried should you be?

Lol, right? Who gives a fuck about illegal spying on people. Who cares if they do false flag cyber attacks and blame other people?
Its the CIA. They love us.

The CIA needs to be "reigned in." It is totally out of control and has been since Slick Willie sold it to the Mossad for cash and favorable media coverage by putting Zionist Traitor and 911 mastermind George Tenet in charge.

So all these talking heads on the new telling us "we are less safe now " are a bunch of fear mongering blowhards? What a shock!

It is the reaction I would expect from the services. They don't want to give any added weight to revelations, and DON'T want to tip their hand as to whether their capabilities are better than the dump indicates. If they showed anger or panic, it would merely ignite further interest. Hence, the figurative shrug.

Who did the CIA illegally spy on? And is Trump's DOJ going to press charges?

Wikileaks, with the blessing of the rightwingers around here, gave the terrorists valuable information about CIA operations.

The word is 'reined' in. As in reining in a horse. you might know that if you had the other end of the horse in your brain.

Don't look at me. I haven't trusted the CIA since I reached adulthood.
