WikiLeaks lifts the curtain on CIA's alleged 'hacking arsenal'

Just off your tinfoil hat because if WikiLeaks is to be believed, paranoia is perfectly natural. Julian Assange's whistle-blowing site published thousands of documents Tuesday it says reveal how the CIA hacks computers, smartphones and even TVs. WikiLeaks says the CIA Center for Cyber Intelligence "lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal" and published several hundred million lines of code that make up "the entire hacking capacity of the CIA." Some programs in the hacking arsenal take their names from films and TV shows like Talladega Nights, Flight Club and Doctor Who. But the most appropriate pop culture reference might be to George Orwell's novel 1984 about a totalitarian society where "Big Brother" is always watching. Although none of the WikiLeaks claims have been verified and it's unknown if these tools were ever used on U.S. citizens, Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., has called for a congressional investigation into the surveillance program, saying, "The potential privacy concerns are mind-boggling."
