WikiLeaks has published a trove of files it says are linked to the CIA's hacking operations — which apparently includes efforts to hack into cars. 。
SEE ALSO:WikiLeaks document dump alleges the CIA can hack almost everything。The first in a series called "Vault 7," "Year Zero" supposedly comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia. 。
"Year Zero" details the CIA's malware arsenal and "zero day" exploits against Apple iPhones, Google's Android operating system, Microsoft Windows and even Samsung TVs.。
But that's not all. 。
According to a document from 2014, the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
The document details a meeting of the CIA's Embedded Devices Branch (EDB) to develop malware that could infect, among other things, the so-called Internet of Things and "Vehicle Systems (e.g. VSEP)."。
It also mentions "Weeping Angel," a malware that infests smart TVs -- in this case, Samsung smart TVs -- transforming them into covert microphones. 。
It is not clear why the CIA would want to worm its way into cars, though you could probably dream up a few reasons.。
"The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations," WikiLeaks says in its press release. 。 Mashable 。
