The CIA wouldn’t confirm Wednesday that the material came from its files, although no one is doubting they did. The CIA wouldn’t talk about whether there was any investigation underway to figure out how the material ended up on the internet for all to see. And the agency wouldn’t say whether it suspects that a mole lurking inside the CIA secretly spirited the material to WikiLeaks, or whether the CIA could have been the victim of a hack. WikiLeaks has not released the actual hacking tools themselves, some of which were developed by government hackers while others were purchased from outsiders. Should WikiLeaks work directly with them?” It wasn’t clear whether WikiLeaks, a strident critic of Google and Facebook, among others, was serious about such action.
