When CIA Said Russians Did It, That Was Their Code #WikiLeaks #Vault7

The CIA developed code to cover up the tracks of whatever malware they left behind so it wouldn't be possible tell they did it.  That was revealed in the latest release from WikiLeaks.  (RT:  #Vault7: WikiLeaks reveals ‘Marble’ tool could mask CIA hacks with Russian, Chinese, Arabic)

WikiLeaks’ latest batch of documents, named ‘Marble’, details CIA hacking tactics and how they can hamper forensic investigators from attributing viruses, trojans and hacking attacks to the spy agency . The tool was in use as recently as 2016.

The third release, which contains 676 source code files for the agency’s secret anti-forensics framework, is part of the CIA’s Core Library of malware, according to a statement from WikiLeaks.

As to how WikiLeaks got this, it's important to understand there isn't a boat in Washington or near it which does not have a hole in the bottom so large that it leaks fast enough to send the Titanic to the bottom in a doublequick hurry.

When there are leaks from the Oval Office which should have the most unimpeachable cadre in the country, it shouldn't be such a wild surprise to see the CIA leaks as much or more.


We could retire simply from a dime for every time the CIA charged hacking to Bulgarians in the past but they got tired of that and they stick to blaming Russians now.  There isn't a tiny reason to believe any of it but we do admire how they have elevated electronic false flags to a new dimension of lunacy.

Oh, you think that's exaggeration?

WikiLeaks said Marble hides fragments of texts that would allow for the author of the malware to be identified, meaning the agency allows another party to be blamed for the hack.

A Marble framework document reveals it supports the ability to “add foreign languages” to malware. “Now comes the fun stuff,” it reads, listing Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi in example code, indicating the potential for the CIA to divert attention to international actors.

Polly Boiko gives a clear explanation of what they were doing and it's at least as insidious as you may imagine.  It's worth listening to the video on the link for the full spiel.


Maybe the charge from the Statists is this is bollocks because WikiLeaks is part of a conspiracy to spoof the Left with false information and thereby contribute to the destruction of democracy and probably life as we know it.

The above could be true but it assumes exceptional incompetence from some exceptionally bright people.

Watson:  or it's just another diversion by the Statists?

Roger that
