\"bigstock-Cia-Flag-Grunge-79818100-690x450\"The latest WikiLeaks data dump reveals how the CIA uses smart technologies to spy on people, in addition to its arsenal of spying capabilities.<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

WikiLeaks on Tuesday published 8,671 documents it claims to have obtained from from the Central Intelligence Agency, that are part of a series the whistleblower network calls \u201cYear Zero.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, WikiLeaks had issued a statement explaining the subject material of \u201cYear Zero\u201d would be looking intricately at the numerous methods used by CIA to turn day-to-day commercial electronics like smart phones and smart TVs into spying devices.<\/p>\n

The Tuesday cache of classified files is styled \u201cVault 7\u201d by WikiLeaks, and is available on their website.<\/p>\n

The massive amount of data could not immediately be authenticated by major news agencies. However, the CIA has declined to comment on the issue.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Liu, a CIA spokesman, said: \u201cWe do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart phones or spy phones?<\/h4>\n

A number of files discuss the\u00a0CIA\u2019s Mobile Devices Branch (MDB) development of tools and systems to hack popular smart phones to remotely order them to send both location data as well as audio and text communications. The phones\u2019 cameras and microphones can also be remotely activated at will.<\/p>\n
