WikiLeaks Posts Thousands of Purported CIA Cyberhacking Documents

The hits on the U.S. Intelligence community continue to mount.  Yet another leak of 8,761 documents from WikiLeaks claims to contain highly confidential information on the global intelligence gathering capabilities of the C.I.A.

I am genuinely upset about this.  Every aspect of it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/wikileaks-posts-thousands-of-purported-cia-cyberhacking-documents-1488905823

The data dump is the largest leak of confidential CIA information in history, and contains several hundred million lines of attack code that the agency has developed over the years for breaking into and spying on adversary systems and networks. The data appears to have been circulating for some time among former government hackers and contractors, and was provided to WikiLeaks by one of them, the website said in a statement.

I read through the major points of the dump and there was nothing that really surprised me.   Nothing listed was anything that everyday hackers aren't already doing on a daily basis, so there shouldn't be any outrage that the C.I.A. is doing it too.  I had several friends call me or stop by my office saying "you were right, I can't believe it, I thought you were just paranoid".  Nope, I have lots of information, you just have to be willing to listen.
