The US Consulate in Frankfurt. The whistleblower group's new report describes how the CIA reportedly hacked into iPhones, Microsoft Windows and even Samsung TVs around the world - and the German financial centre is reportedly a major hub. The US Consulate in Frankfurt was reportedly used as a “covert base” for hackers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Once in Frankfurt, WikiLeaks says the hackers could travel without border checks throughout Europe's Schengen area. "As a matter of policy, the US State Department does not comment on specific intelligence allegations," the Frankfurt Consulate told The Local, declining to comment on whether the documents were authentic.
