Remember the March 7 release of ‘Vault 7‘ from WikiLeaks?

It detailed information on the CIA’s global hacking process, and its internal group (code-named Umbrage) that identifies and logs foreign malware ‘technique’ tags.

The CIA hacking process includes use of those technique tags, in order to misdirect analysts of foreign (and domestic) services trying to determine malware sources.

As noted in the Vault 7 release…

“With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the “fingerprints” of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.”

Translation? Even if ‘foreign’ hacking attempts are uncovered, with such a capability it’s going to be impossible to determine if it was foreign agents involved…

…or our own CIA, up to their spy-vs-spy tricks again.

Of course, the sham-stream media and Democrats have a system for that…

…if damaging for Democrats, it was our CIA, trying to make them look bad…

…if it can hurt Republicans, it was Russians trying to help the GOP win elections.
