Published: 2:09pm, 10 Mar, 2017 Updated: 2:55pm, 20 Jul, 2018 President Donald Trump has criticised the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), with his Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, saying that Trump believes the agency's cyber-defence systems are "outdated and in need of updating". The comments follow the dumping of Vault 7, a cache of documents detailing the CIA's cyber-espionage methods, by WikiLeaks. In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Spicer said he was not aware of any specific intelligence reports about Russian hacking but added that it is possible they exist. Meanwhile, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, Julian Assange, has accused the CIA of "devastating incompetence" for failing to protect its secrets.
