For the NYT, I wrote the boring truth about latest CIA claims. Sorry—nothing sensational. Don't let media alarm you. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wikileaks-cia-cache.html …pic.twitter.com/SSuzB8qikz
An accurate WL release would say: "CIA has underwhelming tools, many known, to laboriously hack phones one by one. Update your software!"

-
An accurate story on protecting journalists or activists would highlight: update software. Use two-factor. Get a security key.

The biggest danger is not fancy-pants CIA tools (they aren't even fancy pants). It's phishing. There is much you can do to protect yourself.
-
A security key will stop your Gmail & Facebook from being phished. Get one. Use two-factor with authenticator app if no security key option.

Never ever launch Word or Adobe to open attachments. Open them in a Chromebook, iPad or iPhone. At a minimum, Google Docs. 99% defense.
-
Wikileaks needs sensational claims for attention, media jumps to parrot them without understanding. Symbiotic failure. Don't fall for it.

Only newsworthy part of
#Vault7: *someone* hacked CIA's cache. Hacking CIA tools is news. Tools? Not really. Meh stuff. Interesting how meh. -
Device insecurity *is* a major problem. We should be up and arms about it. I've been writing about it for years. Few recommendations. +

Use only iPhones or updated Androids (Google: Pixel, Nexus.). Other Androids are sitting duck. Hackers only have to sneeze in its direction.

Yhey built exploits directly into the OS, there's no question they can access anything, including Signal.

How can someone pose as an expert with so little understanding of how computers work? They bypass Signal protections bc OS is compromised

Either you don't know what you're talking about or you're writing false info on purpose as damage control. Which is it?

@zeynep I was astounded how many reporters wrote panicky articles without once consulting a cybersecurity expert. -
@WineGumLady@zeynep i wasn't- the desperation to be paid so little per click has quickly escalated into a war of shock headlines, no work
