RE: The CIA Project "HIVE" Unveiled By Wikileaks
I appreciate the sentiment but it's not quite true. The majority is being produced by kids who think that a copied script makes them "hackers" and lowly scammers who think that stealing the money of others is legit form of income.
However the CIA produces especially effective malware because they:
- Employ developers who are experts in cybersecurity
- Have access to government databases and classified data
- Have the newest tools at their disposal
- Can exercise pressure on software companies
- Are funded by the taxpayers
With every leak Wikileaks delivers, we take away one of their weapons.
I guess I could have clarified that I think a large portion of the virus script may originate from the CIA or other intelligence agencies but then of course gets picked up and copied by others. Maybe I am wrong on that, I'm sure you have done more research then I have.
