    For those who don't know you can read more about them here: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/

    I'm not to surprised at this, honestly, I'm expecting that the leaks are just the tip of the iceberg and there's way more to CIA hacking than this (I guess this is why some security experts recommend putting tape over your webcam). I'm curious to see other people's thoughts, please comment below and tell me what you think about this.

    I honestly really don't care about the CIA's hacking abilities, but that's just me.

    I think that we all need to understand that any data stored electronically is vulnerable to access by a wide variety of people and organizations, including law enforcement, spy agencies, criminal hackers, competitors, etc. For the vast majority of us, the main issue would be criminals accessing our financial information and that should be our focus from a security perspective.
