I was expecting it 3 weeks ago, they took their sweet time
@1nfiniteLoop
Wikileaks cia hacking tools leak

BREAKING: SPY AGENCY CAUGHT SPYING!!

🤷‍♀️

@brod nope. Spying spy agency
losing their tools to someone.

@vortexman100 I don't imagine Wikileaks or others will leak the tools and even if they did it'd be better a better outcome than CIA keeping them to themselves.

@brod Does it matter? Even if only one of these tools is missing (which noone could prove) it could cause massive damage to the target devices. Imagine Windows Update hacks get released. Noone could ever revert that damage.

The only hope is that linux is not as targetable as windows. I will shutdown all my windows computers.

@vortexman100
Linux is also a big target,
Time to get back to Amiga OS or something

@vortexman100 Yeah it might be dangerous if those tools get leaked but that also means that vendors can start patching which is a goood thing

@linuxxx at least on the linux side. But anything relying on either windows or "stable" distros will be out alone, months away from any patch. Think about debian stable, any hotfix will take time, and not every server can be restarted to apply these kernels... Oh boy. This will be great.
