I've been
complaining for a while that we're becoming too dependent on "smart"
devices to watch TV, to wash our clothes, to turn our lights on and off, or
even to find out something by talking out load and having some device on our
living room table give us the information we're seeking by talking back to
us. It's nuts! But hey, what do I know? I'm an OG, right? Here what I knew and thanks to Wikileaks the
rest of the world knows too. The more we
integrate technology into our everyday routine functions of our lives, the
easier it becomes for somebody else to control your life.
NY Post reports CIA software can secretly turn everyday electronics like smartphones and high-tech TVs into listening devices to spy on unsuspecting users, WikiLeaks claimed in a massive document dump Tuesday.Some of the computer programs target the iOS software that runs Apple iPhones as well as Google’s Android operating system, which does the same for phones built by Samsung, HTC and Sony, WikiLeaks said.The “weaponized” software also reportedly provides techniques to defeat the encryption abilities of popular apps including WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Wiebo, which claim to supply users with secure and private communications.

By the way,
