WikiLeaks’ latest release from the Vault 7 series of CIA leaks,
sheds more light on how ordinary people can be easily tracked and
targeted by the US intelligence agency through everyday electronic
devices.
Since
March 7, WikiLeaks has revealed CIA hacking techniques used to weaponize
mobile phones, conduct surveillance via smart TVs, and load and execute
malware on a ‘target machine’.
In
light of Thursday’s 20th release from Vault 7, RT looks back at the
most explosive revelations from the CIA’s hacking arsenal, showing how
the intelligence agency could spy on you in your own home.
Home Security Systems
The
‘Dumbo’ program is purportedly designed to manipulate home security
systems, altering the functionality of webcams and microphones on
Microsoft Windows-operating systems and corrupting video recordings.
WikiLeaks
suggested that this allows the operator to create fake – or destroy
real – evidence of their intrusion into the device.
