Here are some interesting Twitter reactions regarding the WikiLeaks release of 8,761 documents and files they claim originate from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina.

So far the #vault7 leaks don't show that secure messaging apps are broken—just that hacked devices are untrustworthy https://t.co/nrxpL7r5Yl

..what Wikileaks won't tell you: almost everything in their dump is dreadfully ordinary, widely known by the cybersec/hacking community

By spreading lies about secure communication methods, Wikileaks pureposely instills fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the most vulnerable.

After hours of reading my conclusion is that #Vault7 contains nothing shocking at all, just an agency doing targeted work as you'd expect.

My stance on #Vault7 I think the dump is a good indicator that tax $ is actually going towards an agency being successful n their mission

What have we learned? CIA uses Agile, StackOverflow, and isn’t qualified to give an “intro to rootkits” talk at @defcon

If you prioritise reading the #Vault7 docs over securing your (clients) infrastructure, you’re doing it wrong.

Today we're once again reminded that everyone and everything is just one zero-day away from compromise.

#Vault7 summary: the CIA is doing their job exactly as you'd reasonably expect them to. Here's Tom with the weather…

Remember the CIA is not the NSA. Different missions, different targets, different tools.

Re CIA leak: I will never understand the glee some Americans express when harm befalls the important mission of our intelligence community.

The CIA didn't break Signal or WhatsApp, despite what you've heard https://t.co/D9IEDO4Iw5 by me and @samfbiddle
