The notorious site WikiLeaks has uncovered one of the biggest secretive government programs since the Edward Snowden incident back in 2013.

They uncovered a set of documents that details how the CIA has been developing ways to hack into all sorts of personal technologies, such as cell phones, computers and even internet connected televisions, or “smart TVs”.

To some, this comes as no surprise. Everyone knows that the CIA is a very secretive organization, and with technology ingraining itself further into our lives, this thing seems expected in this day and age.

The documents were confirmed as real and valid by some government officials, dispelling some rumors of it being a hoax. The documents detailed software that would be used to gain access to some people’s personal electronics, including mobile phones that were previously under the encryption that Apple and Android have procured. Now, according to these documents, the CIA can theoretically gain access to cell phones via certain apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, among others.

The leaked documents amounted to over 7,818 web pages and 943 attachments, but a lot of it was redacted in order to prevent the codes for cyber weapons to be disclosed to the public.

Tapping of Smart TVs seems to be an object of concern for many, as the devices utilize voice activation and guidance features. Consequently, these Smart TVs can pick up background sound, including voices and Samsung even put out a warning in the fine print of the terms of service stating that your voice could be intercepted by a third party.

No evidence suggests that the methods for tapping these technologies and bypassing encrypted codes have been used on Americans. It appears as if it was developed to be used internationally, and evidence is limited on whether the technology will actually be put to use or if it was just developed as a precaution to make sure that another party doesn’t get hold of or develop this kind of software first.
