Spying campaigns presently being conducted by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) could be disrupted by another Wikileaks data release. The whistle-blowing site has published a CIA code that is deployed to hide the origins of malware used by the agency in its surveillance operations. The release of the information could be "one of the most technically damaging" said Nicholas Weaver, a computer security researcher at the University of California in Berkeley, in an interview with the Washington Post. Recent leaks have only detailed the ways that the CIA spies on targets. A new leak from WikiLeaks reveals how the CIA's hacking division infiltrates computers and networks around the world with covert software.
