A new Wikileaks release called DarkMatter was released today, affirming that the Central Intelligence Agency has long targeted Apple Macs, creating malware designed to evade the tech giant's security mechanisms. The leak also revealed the CIA had been targeting the iPhone since 2008, a year after the landmark device was released. "NightSkies 1.1 exists for the iPhone," a CIA manual read, in a document entitled DarkSeaSkies that dated back to 2009. To Mac security expert Pedro Vilaca, the leaked documents showed that the CIA was an early adopter of Mac hacking. As Vilaca said, it appears the CIA was ahead of the game when it came to deep Mac hacking.
