"jack's complete lack of surprise", basically. expect "internet of things" devices to be utilized for surveillance in general; they are typically insecure and there are already botnets being created on them.

Looking forward to it. The police state has been upon us since Woodrow Wilson's administration. The only difference is the technology involved.

From Chump thread:

I'm just laughing now that we have seen early realizations of what is in there. Essentially a collection of exploits like the Equation Group but held by the CIA and not NSA.

Trump says he is being wiretapped, media flips and says he is crazy, a few days later, wikileaks says the CIA was spying on everyone via Samsung TV's, and Zero Day exploits in mobile technology, and actively searched for a way to take control of automobiles and stealth assassinate people a la Michael Hastings.

And this is only the first release, so there is likely some juicy stuff to come out.

What do you guys think of this revelation?
