That was a question thrown at Julian Assange today during a press briefing hosted on Twitter's Periscope, just a matter of days after Wikileaks released thousands of documents detailing the CIA's hacking tools. According to Assange, the group develops not just viruses and other types of hacking tools, but automates how they work. If the CIA has spied on U.S. citizens with the myriad hacking tools in the Vault 7 leak, it wouldn't be unprecedented. In the same press briefing, Assange said Wikileaks would pass more detailed information on specific exploits to technology companies whose products were targeted by the CIA's tools. All are actively investigating the Wikileaks Vault 7 files, and are yet to warn of any previously-unknown vulnerabilities that now need patching.
