Vault 7 is a set of documents revealing the CIA's ability to spy on people through phones, computers, and televisions. It consists of over 8,000 documents released by WikiLeaks beginning on 7 March 2017.[1] The CIA is able to engage in targeted surveillance of specific persons of interest “to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman [sic] by hacking the ‘smart’ phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied,” through exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities and malware infections.[2] The CIA can listen to conversations through Apple and Android smartphones, Windows computers, and Samsung TVs on unprotected devices.[3]
