    Default Wikileaks to hand over alleged CIA spying tools to tech companies



    Wikileaks will hand Central Intelligence Agency hacking tools to technology companies in order for them to defend their customers against spying.

    Julian Assange, founder of the website, said he had decided to provide the classified information to giants such as Microsoft, Samsung and Apple whose products were implicated in the alleged CIA leaks.

    The announcement comes after Wikileaks on Tuesday released a raft of documents that it claims detail tools the CIA used to hack into peoples computers, televisions and smartphones, among other internet-connected devices.

    Assange warned that other hacks, such as the one used to turn on a "fake off" spying mode on Samsung smart TVs, may have to be manually blocked. This could prove difficult as it would require people to know their device had been infected in order for it to be fixed.

    The CIA has not commented on the authenticity of the leaks.

    Often quoted as an excuse to implement mass surveillance by those who want to for no reason and quoted more by those that don't understand why. Perhaps they should fit trackers and body cameras to everyone as well? I dare say North Korea has more freedoms.
