RE: VAULT 7 and how BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY is set to revolutionise Cyber-Security in the future..!!
The issue is that they have penetrated what is supposedly one the most secure network of computers in the World.
No, they didn't. They got the data that CIA shared with it's contractors. Since the people are always the weakest link, one of those contractors leaked the data to Wikileaks. FBI has opened a “mole hunt”:
The FBI has already been investigating transparency organization Wikileaks for years, and the new investigation into Tuesday’s “vault 7” document release is expected to be “another major mole hunt,” a former intelligence official told the Washington Post. “If this is all correct, it’s a big deal.”
How the data was handed to them isn't the point I am trying to get across. The point is about the fact they got it. In the future this data will sit behind a layer of Security Keys. Hopefully this helps. Stephen
I'm a bit surprised that a man of your expertise doesn't see the obvious. You can't have strategic technology kept “behind a layer of Security Keys”. Someone has to use it. So wide scope of privacy invasion demands a large number of people for acquiring and processing data. When you have large number of people, you inevitably get Tom Drake, John Kiriakou, Bradley (Chelsea) Manning, Edward Snowden… When you start to persecute them, you get plenty of new “Edward Snowdens” that are not going to reveal identity. Even if you shut one Wikileaks, ten new will arise. The point is that there is no way to keep such nefarious technology in secret for a long time. No way.
I think what he is saying...is the use of the blockchain will be more popular to share sensitive data to those who know where and how to find it without alphabet soup.
And he makes a good point about security. No one is questioning that.
The issue I and @lighteye have is that @stephenkendal makes out that Wikileaks is the one who hacked the CIA and it wasn't. No one hacked anything.The CIA building is air-gapped.
This statement is misinformed, slanderous and very dangerous to Wikileaks reputation. I would hope/urge Mr Steven to correct or delete that statement out of respect and common decency.
I've noticed he still hasn't changed his comment. We've both asked him but he refuses to correct it.
Does this seem a little odd to you.
Everyone has a right to his own fallacy. He's a good guy that aims to the future, but still didn't break his connections with MSM fake news. It will pass.
I agree. I've been following his posts since I started on steemit. This is way I am so concerned and felt the need to make some noise.
I hope he does come to his senses soon and changes it.
